| 23 Dec 2023 | Gray Area Spotlight: AYYBO | 00:45:52 | |
Lately, AYYBO has been living life by three letters: GDB. What do they mean? “Goddamn, baby,” he clarifies for Gray Area with a laugh. It was initially a joke born from a dream in which he yelled the phrase on a mic during a show. Somehow, it stuck. “I just started saying ‘GDB’ to all my friends,” he says. “Anything good that would happen, I would just say ‘GDB.’ Then all my fans, when they say ‘GDB,’ I respond with ‘GDB’ as well. It just seems to be this never-ending cycle of positivity, as weird as it sounds.” Check out AYYBO's full Spotlight Interview: https://grayarea.co/artists/ayybo/spotlight ▪️Follow AYYBO▪️ Instagram - @ayybomusic Twitter - @ayybomusic Facebook - @ayybomusic Spotify - AYYBO Soundcloud - @ayybo Beatport -@a-bo ▪️Follow Gray Area▪️ Instagram - @entergrayarea Facebook - @entergrayarea Twitter - @entergrayarea Website - https://grayarea.co YouTube - @grayarealive Tiktok- @entergrayarea | |||
