FLO BAND BIOGRAPHY

Armed with purified vision and a great deal of enthusiasm, their music fills the emptiness 

of the music industry as we know it.  Sounds of European roots hang in the powerful yet 

unique sound in their music, but together they stand flatfeet on South African soil. After 

Florian David Werner Gallant (Lead Vocalist, Song writer, Pianist, Guitarist) moved to South 

Africa from Germany to sweep his one true love off her feet, he pursued his dream to get 

his music out to every unheard ear and started FLO Band in 2010 along with Eugene Pienaar, 

also better known as Josh (Production team).  Benjamin Gallant (Drummer), brother of 

Florian believed in FLO Band so much that he had his whole family move to South Africa to 

contribute his insane energetic vibe and naturally given talent to the FLO.  Together with 

Coleske Artists Producer Ian Vos (Ian Vos Productions) they worked on their first album 

called ‘Life Support’ featuring their debut single, ‘Sky’. Within the 2 years of playing together 

and perfecting their first album, VW (Volkswagen) Centurion showed some interest in the 

band and decided to step in the loop of the family circle through being the bands main 

sponsor. On Bass Guitar is Pieter Janse van Rensburg, known to pass the best hairdo for 

a white guy. Our honourable Lead Guitarist just had to be our very own Guitar Teacher at 

COPA,  Riaan Le Roux whom has joined the band in mid 2013 and now beats the Electric 

guitar in a way that leaves you standing in awe.  Over the 2 years of existence, Flo Band was 

involved in numerous Charity Organizations but set themselves aside as ambassadors in 

conjunction with Feed a Child South Africa.  

We wanted our hearts to be reflected through our music to speak more clearly in width and 

in depth of the life that we seek to experience. It’s that intangible thing in music that makes 

us live so freely in our music.
