This week, Nicole talks with Flo Petite, a Maryland-based singer-songwriter whose music and writing practice explores and narrates deep, fleeting, and richly detailed personal connections experiences. In the interview, Flo discusses her avid journaling practice, her desire to document experiences, and key moments of transformation that have shaped the course of her artistic journey. Through it all, Flo’s practice offers a sensitive and authentic account of the tender and bewildering paradoxes of being human.
Flo Petite is a singer-songwriter, currently based out of Maryland. Her debut EP, titled “Soft Wrinkled Feelings,” was released in March of 2018, securing her a spot in the emerging DIY scene. Preceding her first album, she was discovering her sound by doing shows with the Maryland Institute of Music and toting her guitar around to a variety of open mics and talent competitions. These efforts landed her in the top five of Washington County Teen Idol in 2018, and helped her tweak her performance skills. Aside from being a student and song-writer, Flo is a lifelong vegan with an eclectic mix of other side passions. Pandemic life derailed her performance efforts a bit, but she is still making music and sharing her tunes when she can, while she finishes her senior year at the University of Maryland.
