FLORIAN IS MRFLORIAN1
''FLORIAN, WOULD BE THE PREFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE CAN CALL; AN « OUSIDER »…HE’S CANADIAN, BORN IN MONTREAL, BUT LIVES IN EUROPE SINCE THE END OF THE LAST CENTURY…

STREET MUSICIAN, URBAN POET, BEATNIK…FLORIAN HAS BEEN TOURING IN HALF OF EUROPE WITH HIS GUITARE, HIS BACK PACK, BY ANY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION…

PARIS, ROME, AND ZÜRICH ARE HIS LAND MIRES…IN ONE OF THOSE THREE CITIES? YOU MIGHT BE ALMOST SURE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO SAW HIM LESS THAN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO…

FLORIAN IS A « DILLETTANTE » PASSIONATE FOR MUSIC…ANY KIND OF MUSIC… BUT THERE’S ALWAYS A BOOK AROUND…HE’S EITHER READING ONE OR WRITTING ONE…HE EVEN CONSIDERS HIMSELF MORE AS A WRITTER THAN AS A SINGER…

NEVER MIND…

FLORIAN WRITES SONGS JUST LIKE OTHER PEOPLE ARE BUYING A LOTO TICKET OR ARE TAKING THE METRO…

ULTIMATLY HE’S BEEN SEEN WORKING ON DIFFERENT ELECTRO-POP PROJECTS… WITH A VERY TALENTED AND YOUNG SWISS PRODUCER (MYSPACE/CHRIS REECE)

THEIR COLLABORATION ENDED UP IN 2008 WITH THE RELEASE OF « SOULMATE » THE SINGLE OF SWISS MUSIC AWARDED DJANE « TATANA »(ALREADY GOLD ALBUM) AND WITH PAT FARELL’S NEW SINGLE: « MARSHMALLOW DREAM » RELEASED LAST DECEMBER…

AND THERE’S MUCH MORE TO COME ABOUT FLORIAN…''



At the very beginning MrFlorian1 was not existing…because Mrflorian1 is Florian…And Florian is Mrflorian. Recently he’s also Dorian sometimes… But let’s say to make it short, that Florian has nothing to see with « Cafe Florian » a Venezia…Although he loves coffee… He never even went yet in Venice… Florian was born in Montreal, Canada, not so long ago… He was singing even before to ride a bicycle… The interests he had, since he was a child, for Litterature, Art and History brought him to start the life of a bohemian-gypsy… playing folk and blues music from cities to cities… After many adventures in Old Europe with his back pack and his guitar Florian decides to settle in Paris…where he lived out selling poems and short stories he’s writing… He sells his stuff in the streets, in cafes and in restaurants… Playing and singing his music in the metro… Or wherever he could…

He meets in 2001 Nicolas Richard a French composer/arranger…with whom starts a collaboration in studio singing on demos for many well knowned artists in France ( Florent Pany, Jane Birkin and others…) Their association leaded also to the release of the album « Rêve de saison » produced by Claude Cayla… And printed and sold out in Paris to 1000 copies in 2002/2003...

In the summer 2004, Florian is introduced by the colorfull Franky Fonell, to electro music scene, and to the young Swiss producer Chris Reece…They record together few projects for Zurich area’s local djs… In 2005 Florian is on the Zurich’s « Street Parade » Compilation; that year, one of the best sellers cds in Switzerland, with the track: « Feed me » The year after, they are on  the « Street Paradise » compilation (summer 2006) with two tracks;« Sweet sensation » and « sexy girl » Few months later, the internationaly famous german producer: Frank Farian,(BonyM, Millie Vanelli, La Bouche, Terrence Trent D’Arby) after hearing the song « Sexy Girl » contacts Florian and invites him several times to the « Rossbach studios » in Frankfurt Germany to offer him the first part for his music-hall: «Daddy cool » presented in London and in Berlin…

This is no problem for him to be produced by Mr Frank Farian, but Florian is not quite warm for the music-hall things… They stay in touch for the whole year…but nothing concrete happened unfortunately… Though Mr Farian generously provides some substantial means to Florian to record many demo-songs with Chris Reece in his studios in Zurich…among other songs they record « Smile! » And « Dangerous man » (now available on itunes)

Between the end of 2006 and the summer of 2007, Florian recorded (again whith Chris Reece) many tracks for several djs; Tanja Lacroix, Mr Pink, Frank Anthony…tracks like: « shake it », « Voglia di mare », « Angel’scream » or the excellent technopop track:« Moonlight madness » (all available on itunes) are all from this period…

There, also emerged Mrflorian1 on myspace…

In February 2008 Chris calls Florian once again to participate to the last album of the swiss awarded djane:Tatana… They record « Soulmate » (radio single of the album, released by Syrup music/TBA records, already gold album in Switzerland and also available on itunes) In june of the same year… Florian writes together with Chris Reece « Marshmallow Dream »…which is released in December 2008 for swiss dj:Pat Farell… His new release for the end of the winter 2009 is now for one of the most sucessfull djs in Switzerland; Mr Da-nos for whom Florian wrote together with Joe Calabrio « Miss Sunshine » soon available on itunes…which should be the next Radio single of Mr Da-nos’ new album « All in one »… The story is still to be continued…
