Did Flume get his name from Bon Iver?

Yes, Flume (real name Harley Edward Streten) derived his stage name from a Bon Iver track of the same name. The inspiration for his unique moniker came from the music of another artist, reflecting the creative connections that often shape musicians’ identities.
