Their first single “Interchange” was streamed over 150K times on Spotify.

In addition to his trio work, Floris debuted a solo piano album titled "Half of What I Say Is Meaningless" in 2020.

He also serves as a sideman in various projects, including the Tijs Klaassen Quintet, Anti Panopticon, Alistair Payne's REFLEX, Govreen Quartet and Mo van der Does' Motet.

In 2024, Floris started uploading educational content for musicians on Instagram alongside his regular musical output, reaching 10K followers in just sixth months.

"Floris Kappeyne definitely stands out as an inventive improvising pianist, and he is downright stunning in his solo performances."
