Biography

[edit | edit source]

McKinnon was born in Windsor, Ontario.[2] Her dad was a band musician who worked in radio; her mom was a writer.[3] She began studying piano at age five.[3][4] Her stage name Flower Face was a nickname originally used by her grandmother.[5]

McKinnon started writing music and producing "DIY albums" as a teenager.[6] She has described herself as very online and "very into Tumblr" at that time.[7] She launched the records on Bandcamp "and grew something of an audience."[3] She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2015 at age 17.[8] She studied for a BFA at the University of Windsor.[9]

Her music has been characterized as "gentle."[10] The album The Shark in Your Water has been described as her breakthrough.[7] As of 2024, her songs "Angela" and "Spiracle" have "enjoyed some nice glimpses of widespread, online regard."[3] Her 2024 release Girl Prometheus was deemed "intense and magical" by Stereogum.[7] Girl Prometheus is a breakup album; the single "Maniac" from the album sets "the acoustics of the guitar, her flowy vocals, and pleasant-sounding melodies" against "cut-throat lyrics."[11]
