Welch studied at Camberwell College of Arts, but dropped out to focus on her music.

Florence + The Machine: From Private Joke to Chart-Topping Band

In 2006, Florence Welch and Isabella Summers started performing together in the UK. They eventually formed Florence + The Machine, which began as a private joke between the two friends. In 2007, Welch recorded an album called Plans with a band named Ashok. The following year, she released her debut singles, Kiss With A Fist, and Dog Days Are Over, which charted on the UK charts. In 2009, she released another single, Rabbit Heart (Raise Up), before releasing her debut album with FATM, Lungs. The album peaked at No.1 on the UK album charts, winning the band multiple awards, including two Brit Awards.

FATM went on to release seven singles from the album. In early 2010, Welch was approached by her label to work with US producers and writers of American Pop music in Los Angeles while writing the new F+M album. In 2011, Welch replaced pregnant Dido to sing on her portion of Best Original Song nominee “If I Rise” from the film “127 Hours.”
