Flores was born in Altona, Hamburg, Germany to a German father and a Filipino mother of Chinese, Japanese and Spanish descent from Sorsogon City in the Bicol Region.

Flores is currently studying for a Diploma in Art History at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; this is in preparation for undertaking a masteral degree in Art History in the same university.
As an infant, Flores' parents regularly brought her to the German opera houses. By the age of three, she began singing songs composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (the aria "Queen of The Night" from The Magic Flute is one of the songs) and Ludwig van Beethoven.
After they relocated to the Philippines in 1994, Flores' love for music was further encouraged and nurtured by her family of music lovers, notably her maternal grandfather, a skilled Kundiman guitarist and her mother, who listened to different genres of music, including classical, Broadway, and jazz.
