FLOW's musical format is an Urban music mix that primarily includes R&B and Hip Hop. We also feature Reggae, Soca and Gospel music.
When bringing in your material, present yourself in a professional manner.

Your submission should be neatly packaged and labeled and must include:
- A bio/press kit including your contact information

- Label and management contact information (if applicable)
Make sure your material is mastered and edited for radio play.
Your song submissions should contain no profanity. Tracks should be 3 to 4½ minutes long.

Submit multiple selections of your material.
Clearly indicate on the submission form which selections you want to be assessed.
