Palm Beach Records (“PBR”), a multi-platinum music recording and podcast/vodcast studio and a majority-owned subsidiary of the award-winning, creator-first, music, entertainment and technology platform, LiveOne (Nasdaq: LVO), announced today that PBR has achieved Double-Platinum status for the second time, with Atlantic Records rap artist Kodak Black. The Recording Industry Association of America recently presented Palm Beach Records with the highly coveted Double-Platinum plaque for mixing and engineering Kodak Black’s single “No Flockin’,” which has over 339M Spotify streams to date.

PBR also hit Double-Platinum with over 161 million streams on Kodak Black’s single “Lockjaw.” The studio has engineered a number of singles and mixtapes for the Atlantic Records artist, all having a collective total of over 1 billion streams.

Palm Beach Records’ CEO Christian Ocampo stated, “I’ve worked with Kodak Black since he was 16. It’s gratifying to be on his production team and thrilled for his success.” He adds, “I’m blessed to continue helping great artists and businesses grow more successful here at Palm Beach Records with LiveOne.”

Josh Hallbauer, Head of LiveOne’s Music Publishing Division, said, “Christian is one of the best producers I’ve ever worked with. It made a lot of sense to bring Palm Beach Records into the LiveOne ecosystem where both sides would mutually benefit each other. Christian and his team have already made great strides with producing several LiveOne podcasts, vodcasts and live events. We look forward to having the Palm Beach Records studio create more exciting projects with LiveOne.”
