Gabby Mooney, also known as singer and performer Lyrx, joins Bunnie this week. She’s always been a rocker bad girl, and it was love at first Insta-stalking when Bunnie first heard her single ‘Take My Money’. Gabby talks about people wanting to close her in and shut her down in the music industry, and why she will always be a rebel that stays true to herself. She talks about growing up as the sister of Shay from hit country duo ‘Dan + Shay’, her dream collabs, how she met her Greek God of a man, and her company Posse Lashes.

Takeaways:
- Gabby goes by Lyrx because to her, lyrics are the most important part of music and what she is passionate about the most.
- Gabby is a rocker girl, and always has been.
- When Bunnie heard Lyrx’s single, “Take the Money”, she knew there was something special there. Her music can’t be categorized as just one sound or genre, so don’t try to put her in any box!
- Gabby’s brother is Shay of the hit country duo ‘Dan + Shay’, and they are super supportive of each other personally as artists and in their own music careers. Shay was the person that got her to move to Nashville, and she couldn’t be more proud of him and his success as well.
- A lot of people in the music industry will try to control women that they see as too confident, too sexy or just too much. One of the biggest challenges Gabby sees is not getting the respect she deserves as a writer, or both men and women staying in their own clique while judging others.
- You can expect a new album from Lyrx soon, and she will be releasing the songs single by single.
- Bunnie has an eye for talent. She called it with Cardi B, knew Jelly was a rockstar when she met him, and Gabby is next.
- Country music (and all genres) can benefit from being more open minded to all kinds, and females having each other back to lift up each other.
- To the people that tell Gabby to dress down stop worrying about what she looks like? Bye!
- Shout out to Gabby’s Greek God of a boyfriend who is super sweet and shreds on the guitar! Everyone is glad you slid into her DM’s.
- There is an art to wearing lashes, and Gabby and her sister have cracked the code with their company Posse Lashes.
