Immensely proud of her heritage, Unflirt is a first generation immigrant, born and raised in West London to Filipino parents. Her earliest musical experiences are performing karaoke ballads of Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder and The Beegees with her mum and dad – a staple activity in every Filipino household. These happy memories aided her in forging her musical identity. With no formal music training aside from basic guitar lessons imparted in her childhood by her father, she began releasing music independently during lockdown. She bought herself a microphone and a basic interface and began making music from the sanctuary of her bedroom as a way to process her emotions during the pandemic at a particularly pivotal moment of her adolescence. Unflirt notes the layered guitar techniques of King Krule and Jimi Hendrix as well as the intimate lyrical style of traditional Brazilian and bossa nova tracks as her greatest influences.
