ABOUT FLO
British girl group FLO (Renée, Jorja and Stella) are three trailblazing young artists reshaping not only the landscape of R&B, but also redefining the very essence of what it means to be in a girl group. With a seismic cultural current and an ever-growing legion of dedicated Flolifers behind them, they are poised to become one of the most successful girl bands on the planet. Their hugely successful debut single ‘Cardboard Box’ released in March 2022, set the stage for their meteoric rise and in 2023, they became the first group to scoop the highly prestigious BRIT Rising Star Award and top the BBC Sound Poll in the same year. With their unapologetic attitude, iconic harmonies reminiscent of soulful legends, and a natural relatability and charisma, these women share an unbreakable bond of “friends by chance, sisters by choice”. Firmly in the driver’s seat, 2024 has already witnessed their debut performance at Coachella and the first three singles lifted from their highly anticipated debut album ‘Walk Like This’, ‘Caught Up’ and ‘Check’, signalling that FLO’s ascent shows no signs of slowing down.
