Florian Pelivani – Floyo
The genesis of Floyo’s latest musical experiment traces back to a memorable debut in Ibiza this past April. The island’s vibrant energy, coupled with its reputation as a global music hub, ignited a spark within him to craft something truly unique. Inspiration, as any artist knows, can stem from the most minute details—a snippet of conversation, a fleeting melody, or even a passing emotion. For Floyo, this creative process was catalyzed by an archived vocal sample titled “I Hate It,” which he had been holding onto for over a year.
This vocal sample, sourced from a royalty-free sample pack, resonated with Floyo due to its evocative portrayal of various relational dynamics. The challenge was to weave these vocals into a soundscape that diverged from the conventional yet remained true to his musical obsessions. The solution lay in an organic beat enriched with Afro elements, drum percussion, and the timeless sounds of acoustic guitar and piano. These instruments, particularly the piano, are staples in his productions, infusing each track with a smooth, joyful vibe that he cherishes.
Upon completing the master, there was no question about which label to collaborate with—CDA was the obvious choice. Floyo’s previous release with CDA had cemented his affinity for them, making them his preferred partner for this new venture. The synergy between them ensures that his artistic vision is realized to its fullest potential.
Floyo’s Personal Journey: From the UK to Global Soundscapes
Floyo’s journey in music took a significant turn when he relocated to the UK. This move was not merely geographical but also a deep dive into the diverse and innovative music scene that the UK offers. Armed with a master’s degree in music production, he immersed himself in the rich tapestry of sounds and ideas from various artists, which greatly expanded his creative horizons.
Confidence in his music creation and positioning within the electronic music genre has soared since this move. However, Floyo has discovered that to sustain this creative momentum, periodic travel to warmer climates is essential. Summer, with its inherent vibrancy and warmth, is a perpetual source of inspiration for him. This seasonal muse is integral to his music, ensuring that each production carries the essence of summer, no matter the time of year.
In essence, Floyo’s music is a reflection of his journey—geographical, emotional, and creative. From the energetic debut in Ibiza to the tranquil yet stimulating environments of warmer locales, each experience adds a unique layer to his sound. As he continues to evolve as an artist, Floyo remains committed to infusing his tracks with the joy and warmth that summer epitomizes, creating a perpetual soundtrack to sunny days and vibrant nights.
