FLO has additionally been nominated for seven BET Awards and three Soul Train Music Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tFLO, which is signed to Island Records, is composed of Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma and Ren\u00e9e Downer. The trio\u2019s debut studio album, Access All Areas (2024), included \u201cIn My Bag,\u201d a collaboration with GloRilla<\/a>. The album peaked at No. 3 on the Official UK Albums Chart and No. 163 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

\n\tFLO plans to attend the June 16 event, at which ASCAP will celebrate its U.K. songwriters and composers who have achieved success in the U.S. for their work in music, TV and film. The event will also celebrate the U.K. writers of the 2026 song of the year, top Hot Dance \/ Electronic Song, top box office film of the year and more.<\/p>\n
