Funmi Ohiosumah, known professionally as Flohio (stylised as FLOHIO), is a Nigerian-born British rapper based in South London.[1] Her music is characterised by unusual beats, expansive themes, genre fluidity, and periodic double-time flows.[2] Though some have characterised her work as "grime," Ohiosumah rejects this term as too limiting for her style and approach. As FLOHIO, she performs as a solo artist, but has also collaborated with God Colony and Modeselektor.[2]
Born in Lagos, Nigeria,[3] her family immigrated to Bermondsey, South East London when Ohiosumah was nine.[4][5] Her first EP, titled Nowhere Near, debuted in 2016, followed by her second EP Wild Yout (2018), and her debut mixtape No Panic No Pain (2020).[6][7] Ohiosumah released her debut album, Out of Heart, on 7 October 2022.
FLOHIO has described some of her early influences to include Channel U, Eve and Lil Wayne.[1][2]
