All My Love also reaches deep into the soul of the usually tough Flo Rida.The song describes the death of his beloved sister: "She was a great inspiration for my current situation," he explains. "I know she loved me, but I have no way to talk to her now that she is dead. I knew I had no choice when I left my family that I had to use every day to me to focus 100 percent on the music. "
FLO RIDA was born the only son in a family with seven sisters and grew up in Carol City, Florida, as Tramar Dillard on. Even when his parents separated, he was under the influence of his father's multi-talented musician who taught him to express himself with music. Some of his sisters also founded a gospel group. But the disaster came when one of his sisters died of severe bronchitis. "When she died, I suddenly woke up and knew exactly what to do," he recalls.

My mother is so strong and I have always admired for their strength. And that they showed me that with dedication anything is possible if you keep a cool head. "
Flo was in ninth grade when he began rapping in a band called The Groundhoggz, and today he considers himself a member of this band. On the band's name, he says, "Without base You have no ground on which you can stand. Nothing lasts long if you do not build it from the very bottom. "
The Groundhoggz had their first success in the late nineties, selling mixtapes and supported acts such as Scarface. FLO then got an offer that he could not refuse: his brother had been the hype-man for Luke Skywalker of 2 Live Crew, with 18 FLO the hype-man for 2 Live Crew member Fresh Kid Ice and went with them on a US-wide tour.
On the tour, Devante Swing was to his attention, who played earlier in the R & B band Jodeci. "After the tour, the 2 Live Crew, I had the opportunity to give my demo DeVante.He heard it and wanted me on the same day flew to LA. There I stayed for three years. "But even with the support of LA DeVante was a tough patch," I literally sat on the street and was promoting myself, "said FLO RIDA. "I always had the energy to push my own music, and people help you then more time because they realize that you are serious."
In early 2006 FLO LA left back toward Miami after E-Class, CEO of Poe Boy Entertainment, had contacted him several times. This had created quite a buzz in Miami with FLOS demo and SignT him to Poe Boy, a few months before the label signed a deal with Atlantic Records. "That was the best moment in my life. I had worked hard for years, I had jobs as construction workers and a warehouse, and I mean really bad job.But I always put coal in music, and it has finally paid off. "

"I am going with generally accepted standards closer to the music," he explains. "Not just a Neighborhood approach. I come from a niche, but I try to make music, to which anyone can find a reference.

Club trifft Straße, HipHop trifft auf Dance-Beats – und einer der derzeit erfolgreichsten MCs der USA vermählt sich für diesen Song mit dem Superstar am Dancefloor-Himmel. Der superknackige Sommer-Bouncer „Club Can’t Handle Me“ ist die erste Vorab-Single aus dem am 13.08.2010 erscheinenden Original Soundtrack zu „Step Up 3D“, der Tanzfilm-Sensation des Jahres und zugleich der atemberaubenden 3D-Fortsetzung der beiden Tanzfilme „Step Up“ und „Step Up 2 The Streets“.
Für diesen Track gingen Rapper Flo Rida und der französische House-Produzent David Guetta eine klangvolle Liaison ein. Während Flo Rida Reime droppt, sorgt Guetta in gewohnter Manier für eine kraftvolle Melange aus Tanzbeats und einem zündenden Pop-Vibe, der sich in einem ohrwurmverdächtigen Refrain niederschlägt. Damit steht „Club Can’t Handle Me“ in perfekter Tradition der „Step Up“-Filmreihe, war doch bereits der Soundtrack zum Vorgänger „Step Up 2 The Streets“, auf dem sich u.a. Missy Elliott, T.I., B.o.B, Trey Songz und Enrique Inglesias die Ehre gaben, ein echter Erfolg. Und bereits damals war Flo Rida mit „Low (feat. T-Pain)“ für die erste, überaus erfolgreiche Single-Auskopplung aus dem Soundtrack verantwortlich. Auch auf „Step Up 3D“ versammeln sich nun wieder zahllose prominente Namen, darunter erneut B.o.B. und Trey Songz, aber auch Größen wie Sean Paul und Estelle.
Apropos Erfolg: Davon kann auch Flo Rida ein Lied singen. Seit seinem Einstieg ins Rapgame vor zwei Jahren gelangen dem MC aus Florida zahlreiche internationale Hits. Beispiel: Die Single „Right Round“, die in England und den USA bis auf die Spitzenposition der Charts stieg und in den USA den Rekord als ‚meistverkaufter Neueinsteiger der Digital-Charts’ aufstellte. In Deutschland stieg der Track bis auf Platz 4, erreichte Gold-Status für über 150.000 verkaufte Einheiten und hielt sich über 22 Wochen in den Charts – davon allein 6 Wochen in den Top-5.
Auch die voran gegangene Single „Low (feat. T-Pain)“ war ein globaler Megaerfolg: Platz 1 in den USA und in sieben weiteren Ländern, Platz 2 in England, Platz 13 in Deutschland. Insgesamt stieg die Single in 15 Ländern in die Top 10 und brachte Flo Rida zwei Grammy-Nominierungen sowie eine vierfache Platin-Auszeichnung für mehr als 4,7 Millionen Downloads ein, davon allein eine halbe Million innerhalb der ersten Woche.
Bevor nun am 19.08. der Film in die Kinos und am 13.08. der Soundtrack in den Handel kommt, bieten Flo Rida und David Guetta einen exquisiten Vorgeschmack auf die Dance-Sounds dieses Sommers. Und wenn später im Jahr auch Flo Ridas drittes Album „The Only 1“ erscheint, wird endgültig klar sein: Er ist einer der stilübergreifenden Popstars des Jahres!
In den USA ist der Mann zurzeit die definitive Number One. Wochenlang hielt sich der magische Track Low in den Billboard-Single-Charts, und auch ein näherer Blick lässt die Augenbrauen nach oben rücken: Schon Monate, bevor FLO RIDAs Album Mail On Sunday auf dem US-Markt erschien, katapultierte sich Low an die Pole-Position fast aller relevanten Charts: Top 40 Radio, Billboard Hot 100 und Hot Ring Masters, Soundscan Digital Song Charts, iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, MySpace, MTV TRL, BET 106 & Park – alles, was irgendwie von Bedeutung für zeitgemäße Tracks ist, lag Low zu Füßen. Selbst Download-Giganten wie Gnarls Barkleys „Crazy“ oder James Blunts „You’re Beautiful“ stellte Low bereits in den Schatten. Und wirklich: Mit hypnotischer Kraft zieht der Track, der übrigens auch der Titeltrack des großartigen Dance-Movies „Step Up 2 The Streets“ ist, seine Bahnen durch Ohr und Körper.
Für sein Poe Boys/Atlantic-Debüt Mail On Sunday holte sich FLO RIDA hochkarätige Buddies ins Studio: Timbaland, The Runners und J.R. Rotem sorgten für Top-Sound, Lil’ Wayne unterstützte ihn auf Guns And Roses, Yung Joc veredelt den Partybreaker Furniture, in dem es darum geht, einen Club samt Mobiliar auseinanderzunehmen, und Timbaland himself macht Druck auf Elevator, das auch die nächste Single aus dem Album sein wird.rn|
Aber FLO RIDA hat auch seine sensiblen Seiten, die er zum Beispiel in Showin’ Love zur Geltung kommen lässt, einem Track, auf dem er seinen Freunden und jenen, die nicht mehr am Leben sind, Tribut zollt. Auch All My Love reicht tief in die Seele des sonst so toughen FLO RIDAs hinein. Der Song beschreibt den Tod seiner geliebten Schwester: „Sie war eine große Inspiration für meine jetzige Situation“, erklärt er. „Ich weiß, dass sie mich liebte, aber ich habe jetzt keine Möglichkeit mehr, mit ihr zu sprechen, jetzt wo sie tot ist. Ich wusste, dass ich keine Wahl hatte, als ich meine Familie verließ, dass ich jeden Tag nutzen musste, um mich zu 100 Prozent auf die Musik zu konzentrieren.“
FLO RIDA wurde als einziger Sohn in eine Familie mit sieben Schwestern hineingeboren und wuchs in Carol City, Florida, als Tramar Dillard auf. Auch als seine Eltern sich trennten, stand er unter dem Einfluss seines als Musiker vielseitig talentierten Vaters, der ihm beibrachte, sich mit Musik auszudrücken. Einige seiner Schwestern gründeten sogar eine Gospelgruppe. Aber die Katastrophe kam, als eine seiner Schwestern an den Folgen einer schweren Bronchitis starb. „Als sie gestorben war, wachte ich plötzlich auf und wusste genau, was zu tun ist“, erinnert er sich. „Ich war der einzige Junge von sieben Kindern, alles Schwestern, die ohne ihren Vater aufwuchsen. Mir wurde klar, dass ich aus meinem Leben soviel herausholen musste wie möglich: Alle meine gottgegebenen Talente so einzusetzen, dass ich den anderen irgendetwas zurückgeben kann, von dem sie profitieren. Meine Mutter ist so stark, und ich habe sie für ihre Kraft immer bewundert. Und dafür, dass sie mir zeigte, dass mit Hingabe alles möglich ist, wenn man einen kühlen Kopf bewahrt.“
FLO war im neunten Schuljahr, als er in einer Band mit dem Namen The Groundhoggz zu rappen begann, und bis heute betrachtet er sich als Mitglied dieser Band. Zum Bandnamen erklärt er: „Ohne Basis hast Du keinen Boden, auf dem du stehen kannst. Nichts hält lange, wenn du es nicht von ganz unten aufbaust.“
The Groundhoggz hatten ihre ersten Erfolge Ende der Neunziger, verkauften Mixtapes und supporteten Acts wie Scarface. Dann bekam FLO ein Angebot, dass er nicht ablehnen konnte: Sein Schwager war der Hype-Man für Luke Skywalker von der 2 Live Crew, und mit 18 wurde FLO der Hype-Man für das 2 Live Crew-Member Fresh Kid Ice und ging mit ihnen auf eine US-weite Tournee.
Auf der Tour wurde DeVante Swing auf ihn aufmerksam, der früher in der R&B-Truppe Jodeci spielte. „Nach der Tour mit der 2 Live Crew hatte ich die Gelegenheit, mein Demo an DeVante zu geben. Er hörte es und wollte, dass ich am gleichen Tag noch nach LA flog. Da blieb ich dann drei Jahre lang.“ Aber auch mit der Unterstützung durch DeVante war LA ein hartes Pflaster: „Ich saß buchstäblich auf der Straße und promotete mich selbst“, so FLO RIDA. „Ich hatte immer die Energie, meine eigene Musik zu pushen, und die Leute helfen dir dann eher mal, weil sie merken, dass du es ernst meinst.“
Anfang 2006 verließ FLO LA wieder Richtung Miami, nachdem E-Class, Chef von Poe Boy Entertainment, ihn mehrfach kontaktiert hatte. Dieser hatte in Miami einen ziemlichen Buzz mit FLOs Demo kreiert und signte ihn auf Poe Boy, wenige Monate, bevor das Label einen Deal mit Atlantic Records unterzeichnete. „Das war der beste Moment in meinem Leben. Ich hatte jahrelang hart gearbeitet, ich hatte Jobs als Bauarbeiter und in einer Lagerhalle, und ich meine hier wirklich üble Jobs. Aber ich steckte meine Kohle immer in Musik, und das hat sich schließlich ausgezahlt.“
Das kann man wohl sagen, denn mit Low und dem Album Mail On Sunday hat FLO RIDA einen grandiosen Start hingelegt. Und er schaffte es sofort in den Mainstream. „Ich gehe mit allgemeingültigen Maßstäben an die Musik heran,“ erklärt er. „Nicht nur mit einem Neighborhood-Ansatz. Ich komme aus einer Nische, aber ich versuche Musik zu machen, zu der jeder einen Bezug finden kann.“
