Floetry, the English Neo Soul duo comprising of Natalie Stewart (“the Floacist”) and Marsha Ambrosius (“the Songstress”), first began to capture attention in the UK on the underground poetry circuit.
Formed in 1999, having met through their love of basketball some ten years earlier, the Brit school alumni’s Ambrosius and Stewart began the journey when Marsha called Natalie and asked her to lend some poetry to the songs she was writing and producing.
Natalie accepted and they soon began playing shows in and around London on various performance poetry stages.
Floetry recorded two studio albums - Floetic • Marsha’s demo for Michael Jackson’s 2001 “Butterflies” appeared as a bonus track on Floetic’s October 2002 release and Flo’Ology released in 2005.
