The BRIT-winning group FLO have agreed a deal with PPL for the collection of their international neighbouring rights royalties.
FLO join recent signings such as Lewis Capaldi, Ice Spice and Central Cee.
FLO were the first all-female group to win the BBC Sound of 2023 and the BRITs Rising Star award in the same year. They were nominated for three Soul Train Awards in the US and performed at Coachella.
The trio, who attended East London Arts & Music (ELAM), have released tracks with Stormzy and Missy Elliott.
