He adores '80s synth pop. He loves guinea pigs -- especially cartoon ones. If he says "Jump," you say "How high?" He's Florida hip-hop artist Flo Rida, and he's coming to Daytona beach.
Flo Rida will be in concert at 10 p.m. Aug. 1 at the Coliseum Music Theater, 176 N. Beach St., Daytona Beach. Tickets are $40, available at the Coliseum box office, Atlantic Sounds in Daytona Beach and Half Times Sports Bar in DeLand. Information: 386-492-5905.
Flo Rida (real name Tramar Dillard) made music chart history in February. His single "Right Round" went to No. 1 and also broke a record for the most digital sales in one week with 636,000 downloads. That broke the previous record he had set himself with "Low."
Fans of '80s new wave rock were touched in the process -- "Right Round" is actually a remake of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)," a 1985 hit by those Liverpool-spawned, big-haired synth-pop dudes known as Dead or Alive.
Flo Rida is back in the spotlight with "Jump," his duet with Nelly Furtado. The hip-hop track is featured in the current film "G-Force," an animated comedy about a group of covert commando guinea pigs.
