Florence Welch has two siblings, Grace Welch and J.J Welch. Although there isn’t much information about her siblings on social media, her sister Grace inspired Welch’s song by the same name.
During her youth, Florence was encouraged by her Scottish paternal grandmother, Cyril Welch to pursue her performing and singing talents. Welch’s deceased grandmother inspired numerous songs on Florence and the Machine’s debut album, Lungs (2009).
In her youth, Welch also sang at Family weddings and funerals. Aged 10, she performed the song of Yum-Yum from The Mikado by Gibert and Sullivan at Colin Welch’s memorial service.
Welch contributed vocals to David Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s 2010 album, Here Lies Love, an album about Imelda Marcos. As of January 2011, Welch was working with Drake on material slated for his upcoming album.
