About May Florance


Bio

May Florance is a Dutch singer-songwriter who mainly makes acoustic singer-songwriter/indie pop with melodramatic elements and unique vocals, mostly in English. The lyrics in her songs are written as short stories, based on real-life experiences or completely made up by her creative imagination. She likes to make music in her own time, but has also worked on songs for friends in love and of course, school.
