Phlo Finister was born Elijah Finister, in Oakland, California. Phlo’s early childhood was notably reserved and traditional – she was banned from listening to hip-hop and R&B records while growing up. Relocating to Los Angeles at the age of eleven, Phlo dropped out of school to embark on a new radical path as a performer.
While working as a stylist to the music industry in her late teens, Finister developed a fascination with the ideas of the 60s ‘Youthquaker’ movement. The ‘Youthquaker’ term, coined by Vogue’s editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland, positively identified and demarked the teenagers who dominated the music and fashion scenes of the era. Finister found a self-spiritual home with the Youthquaker movement and ‘Mod’ sensibility; together with a new moniker- the self-styled ‘Phlo Finister’ was born.
