FLOYD THURSBY

Contemporary folk singer Floyd Thursby writes songs about love and death, wild nights and quiet days, sacred moments and everyday life. His album ‘To those in flames’ (2019) was critically lauded and his 2020 album ‘The South Lands’, featuring duets with Vietnamese singer-songwriter Mademoiselle, led to placement of his song ‘You gotta fly’ in the major Vietnamese motion picture Gái già lắm chiêu V. As a composer he has scored a feature film (The Death & Life of Otto Bloom) and multiple short films. He also performs with acclaimed French gypsy jazz quartet La Mauvaise Réputation and new project Skiffle Party! He is currently working with Los Angeles-based producer Rob Kleiner (Cee Lo Green, Sia, The Weeknd, Kylie Minogue, David Guetta) on new original material.
