Floetry is a female British R&B, neo soul, and hip hop duo. The members of the group are singer/songwriter Marsha “the Songstress” Ambrosius and emcee/songwriter Natalie “the Floacist” Stewart. (In 2007, the original duo split with Stewart replaced by Amanda Diva.) The women of the original duo met through their love of basketball and formed a friendship. Ambrosius attended Brits Performing Arts School and studied business and finance. Stewart experimented with acting and directing. For college, Ambrosius planned to attend the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta on a basketball scholarship but could not due to an injury. Stewart attended Middlesex University in London and later transferred to North London University. During these years, both women continued to keep in touch. Stewart was part of a girl group named 3 Plus 1. After the split of the group, she and Ambrosius decided to concentrate on a group together.

They began their career as songwriters in 1997. They have written for Jill Scott, Jazz of Dru Hill, Glenn Lewis, Bilal, and Michael Jackson, for whom they penned the hit 2002 single “Butterflies”.

In 2000, the duo moved to the United States to further pursue their music career. In Philadelphia, they met J. Erving, son of basketball player Julius Erving. He became the manager of the group and introduced them to DJ Jazzy Jeff. In 2002, they signed with Dreamworks Records and released their debut album Floetic, which featured the singles “Floetic”, “Say Yes”, and “Getting Late”. Floetry released a live album titled Floacism in 2003. The two-disc set consisted of a CD and DVD and included the single “Wanna B Where U R (Thisizzaluvsong)” featuring rapper Mos Def.

Color me slow, but can someone explain Sunshine to me in a brief summary. I love the song and I always want to cry whe I hear it, but I'm not sure if she is talking about her dying or her friend dying, or her baby dying. Confused. Imagine, I just figure it's all three,

Yes, Marsha and Amanda Diva. I went to the Floetry remixed tour unaware and didn't stay for long. Previously, Marsha and Natalie balanced each other. However, this was mostly Marsha, Amanda Diva rapping badly/loudly (perhaps it was the sound system) and a lot of spectators looking confused.
