As you listen to the songs some more, though, and they begin to permeate your brain’s listening receptors, you realize that you’re hearing a stylish genre of music you haven’t quite heard before, combining elements of jazz, soul, r&b, hip hop and rap, with swagger and attitude!
So, chances are, you’ll approve of the name that has been assigned to describe most accurately the genre of music we enjoy from Flounder Warehouse – Jazz with Swaggitude!
Seann started to write songs as a member of the Songwriter’s Club when she was at White Plains High School.
After a couple of years in college while pursuing a Music Education major in the classical voice department, she found herself wanting instead to satisfy her thirst for jazz and soulful music, and drawn to take jazz piano lessons for a few months.
It was during that phase of her time at college that Flounder Warehouse was born.
To date, Flounder Warehouse, which began in Philadelphia and is now based in Brooklyn, has released two EPs, Self-Checkout Line in May of 2015 with 7 songs, and At This Point in June of 2017 with 6 songs.
