BGYO Talks "Headlines", Their First Solo Concert, and How They Have Evolved | EP. 52
Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. I’m really excited about today’s guests. I first met them at the 2024 Spotify Wrapped dinner, where we were all being recognized with awards that night. By chance, we ended up at the same area of this long table, and my very first impression of them wasn’t even about the music. It was how genuinely kind and friendly they were. Since then, I’ve been wanting to have them on the show, and I’m so glad we finally made it happen, especially at such an exciting time. They just dropped their brand-new single ‘Headlines’ and are only a few weeks away from their very first solo concert.
