![]() From what I hear she’s now based in London and working on new material. ![]() Keep your ears open, I reckon she’s about to make some noise after her appearance at this years Wireless Festival.This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. Phlo Finister knows transforming R&B is a rather lofty ambition to try to accomplish. Especially when you have no label backing and just a small street team.īut the 19-year-old is hoping to generate buzz for “Crown Gold,” her self-issued six-track EP of hip-hop, jazz and grunge mash-ups with R&B melodies and slick productions. “Urban fan bases need to be revolutionized. I think it can be authentic and classic, but it can have a new spin,” she said while sipping a Thai tea at downtown L.A.’s Demitasse Café. “People are copying so much these days, it’s hard to separate. What I’m doing, I want to be more innovative for my generation. I want to make a classic R&B, but the R&B that I’m making is going to be more avant garde.”īorn in Oakland and raised in L.A., Finister instantly attracts glimpses with her bone-straight hair, perfectly manicured eyebrows, vintage mod attire and sultry makeup that would make Amy Winehouse proud. Given her towering height and beauty, you could easily confuse her for a model (she did styling for Def Jam Records after dropping out of high school). Her music is driven almost wholly by her look, and she takes cues from the youthquaker movement sparked by ‘60s style icons Edie Sedgwick and Twiggy. The photos have since been removed due to controversy among fans of Peaches, which came to Phlo’s attention because she has a Google alert on her own name and reads everything that’s being written about her on internet.When I saw the photo of Sedgwick that they took for Vogue in her house and it said youthquaker a whole different world. On July 26, Phlo posted two new photos of Peaches children, Astala and Phaedra, on her Instagram page, knowing that the family is deliberately keeping the boys out of the media following their mother’s death. ![]() Phlo allegedly brought heroin around Peaches while she was on methadone and attempting to get clean, which sparked Peaches’ destructive side and reminded her of the youth she sometimes felt she lost out on by having children at an early age. She has also recently signed with Kirsty Williams – the same agent that Peaches was signed with. Her fame-whoring ways go beyond normal she name-drops Peaches in every interview she gives and when asked what brand she would like to model for and why, she answered: “Dolce & Gabbana because Peaches is endorsed by them”. She has been best friends with Alia Rose for many years and Teena Marie even took her in during her high school years, but Phlo is desperate for fame and uses people to get attention for herself without the consideration of others. In 2012, there was a rumor circulating the internet that the late singer Teena Marie’s daughter, Alia Rose, had overdosed on Mother’s day in 2011, while she was doing heroin with Peaches and Phlo. ![]() ![]() The two of them did heroin together and Phlo is still very much into that scene. They shared an apartment in Hollywood for a while and Phlo followed her back to London – they remained friends until Peaches’ untimely death in April 2014. “Peaches and Phlo met through a mutual friend in Los Angeles, 2010, when Peaches was living in the US. According to our source this all went down on Mothers Day, at the W Hotel. HSK was the first to report about celebrity hanger-on Phlo Finister in May 2012, at the time Phlo was connected to a Heroin overdose (not a deadly one) suffered by the daughter of the late singer Teena Marie, Alia Rose. ![]()
