Meet The Most Viral Artist on The Internet (BBNO$ Interview)

Описание: In this episode of Behind The Wall, I sit down with bbno$—the rapper, songwriter, and internet sensation who has redefined what it means to go viral in music. From making songs for fun in his Vancouver bedroom to racking up billions of streams, bbno$ has mastered the art of blending humor, personality, and insanely catchy music to build a fanbase that stretches across the world.
But his journey wasn’t always this clear. After a career-ending injury crushed his dreams of becoming a professional athlete, bbno$ pivoted to music—just for fun. What started as SoundCloud experiments turned into one of the biggest viral explosions in music history. His breakout hit Lalala with Y2K took over the internet, but what most people don’t know is that he was already going viral in China before the song even dropped.
In this conversation, we dive into:
🎵 How bbno$ turned memes into millions
🎵 The Lalala phenomenon—how it changed everything
🎵 His legendary collaborations with other artists
🎵 The reality of staying independent and making it in today's music industry
🎵 The formula for making viral hits
As a content creator, I’ve seen firsthand how bbno$'s music doesn’t just go viral - it becomes part of internet culture. His success proves that authenticity, humor, and creativity are just as powerful as any major label backing.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to make music your career independently, this is the episode for you.
🚀 Huge thank you to bbno$ for going Behind The Wall with us and dropping all this knowledge! And thank you to everyone who helped bring this episode to life and supported me throughout this journey! ✨
