Biography
[edit]McKinnon was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.[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] Her stage name Flower Face was a nickname originally used by her grandmother.[4]
McKinnon started writing music and producing "DIY albums" as a teenager.[5] She has described herself as very online and "very into Tumblr" at that time.[6] She launched the records on Bandcamp "and grew something of an audience."[3] She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2015 at age 17.[7] She studied for a BFA at the University of Windsor.[8]
Her music has been characterized as "gentle."[9] The album The Shark in Your Water has been described as her breakthrough.[6] 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.[6] A breakup album, the song "Maniac" sets "the acoustics of the guitar, her flowy vocals, and pleasant-sounding melodies" against "cut-throat lyrics."[10]
