We had the good fortune of connecting with Bby Lon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bby, the decisions we make often shape our story in profound ways. What was one of the most difficult decisions you’ve had to make?
Most definitely deciding not to take my talent serious. I’ve doubted myself a lot in the early stages. Especially when it came to thinking of what others would say or not believing I’d have the potential of being at that top level. I had no idea how far my talent could actually take me

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My dedication of keeping a solid platform and creating a brand with a powerful meaning behind it. It was not easy in the beginning. I’ve had many failures and many success. It taught me to have patience in this business. I definitely had to overcome the bad days but the good ones made up for it. I’m most proud of seeing strangers in my brand apparel, it bring me a huge amount of joy knowing I’m actually taking this far. As well as my modeling career, I literally started with just a dream. All it took was a photographer asking me was a model, I replied no and he said I should model. Just from that one conversation I booked my first photoshoot the next week and the rest is history! I must say I really love creating dope content and sharing it with the world. People may think modeling is just taking pictures but actually loving what you do, creating different poses with all types scenery. It’s so much fun creating content. One of my main goals is to be on a billboard and I can’t wait to check it of my list!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If your looking for a great night out in Atl definitely check out any late night lounges in the city. There will be great food, music and vibes.

I would love to give a personal shoutout to my 4REAL FAMILY 💚 They show me genuine love and support and if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be as motivated as I am now! 4realer
