FLO announced as 2023 BRITs Rising Star winners

The BRIT Awards with Mastercard 2023 have announced that FLO are the winners of the 2023 BRITs Rising Star award supported by BBC Radio 1, making them the first ever group to win the award. Clara Amfo announced FLO as the winners on her BBC Radio 1 Future Sounds show tonight.

FLO say, "From growing up watching the BRITs, to finding each other and forming FLO, releasing our first
body of work in 2022 and winning a BRIT award in the same year!! We are so shocked and grateful.
We are the first group to win the BRITs Rising Star! We’ve just made history and couldn’t have done
it without our wonderful fans and supportive families. It’s truly a dream come true. We feel so
empowered creating the music we love and we hope others feel that too."

Best Fit-favourites FLO – aka 20 year olds Renée, Jorja and Stella - released their debut single "Cardboard Box" seven months back, winning them fans among pop and R&B royalty, such as Brandy, JoJo, SZA, Victoria Monét, Missy Elliott, Kelly Rowland and Sugababes. Their debut EP The Lead dropped in the summer and has now amassed over 70 million global streams with a fresh take on R&B that hasn’t been heard in the UK for decades.

Last year's BRITs Rising Star winner was Holly Humberstone.
