Florence Leontine Mary Welch was born in Camberwell, London on 28 August 1986. Her British father is Nick Welch, an advertising executive. Her mother, Evelyn Welch, is an American expatriate from New York who was educated at Harvard University and the Warburg Institute, University of London.She is currently Professor of Renaissance Studies and Vice-Principal for Arts and Sciences at King's College London.Nick and Evelyn later divorced in 1990,and both remarried.When she was 13 years old, Welch, her mother, and her two younger siblings moved in with their next-door neighbour and his three teenage children. According to Welch, "We get on brilliantly now, but it was a nightmare then. I just used to stay in my room and dance around".
Florence was educated at Thomas's London Day School then went onto Alleyn's School, South East London, where she did well academically despite her diagnoses of dyslexia and dyspraxia.Welch often got in trouble in school for impromptu singing.Upon leaving secondary school and "just bumming around Camberwell where I lived, working at a bar and thought that I should start doing something with life", Florence studied at Camberwell College of Arts before dropping out to focus on her music.Initially, she had intended to take a year out from her studies to "see where the music would go and then it started going somewhere so I never went back".
According to Welch, the "Florence + the Machine" as a band name "started off as a private joke that got out of hand. I made music with my friend, who we called Isabella Machine, to which I was Florence Robot. When I was about an hour away from my first gig, I still didn't have a name, so I thought 'Okay, I'll be Florence Robot/Isa Machine'
Florence and the Machine released their debut album Lungs in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2009. The album was officially launched with a set at the Rivoli Ballroom in Brockley, South East London.
