Flora Garnier

shesaid.so Montreal - Co-Director

Flora Garnier has always been dedicated to bridging the gaps between artists and audiences - whether promoting talent, producing shows, or facilitating the partnerships that make the show go on. Specialized in music management, artist development and show production, Flora is currently based in Montreal and works as an International Development Consultant for the SODEC (a government organization that promotes cultural companies of Quebec) and the SAT (Society for Arts and Technology). She also manages an artist called Sara-Danielle. As a facilitator with ADISQ, the “Québec Association for the Recording, Concert and Video Industries”, she provides training for Quebec artists to navigate the French music market.

Before making her way to music management, she dipped into different facets of cultural production. After studying film production and working on television and film sets, she managed professional dance workshops in the US, Europe and briefly in Japan. As a production and tour Manager in Paris, she coordinated tours for soul, funk and jazz maestros like Roy Ayers, Meshell Ndegeocello and Ed Motta. In parallel, she’s enjoyed working in various festival roles, welcoming artists, managing delegates and managing volunteers for many Festivals in Europe and Québec.  She also recently co-founded the first Canadian chapter of Shesaid.so, based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. They aim to build bridges across Tiohtià:ke/Montreal’s various musical scenes through eclectic programming, insightful networking and radical inclusion. 

She’s often on the road, roaming about new music markets and making meaningful connections at industry meetups. Flora’s always looking forward to understanding new cultures, and ways of working together across borders.
