Gabi Gamberg, The Voice of Daffo

In this episode of Heart to Hustle, I sit down with my high school friend and talented musician, Gabi Gamberg, also known as Daffo. Gabi shares their journey from being a creative, musical child to taking the leap into indie music, signing with a label, and living their dream in California. We discuss the challenges of finding balance as an artist, navigating the tension between making music for profit versus passion, the exhilarating energy of performing live, and debunking myths about life on tour. Whether you're an aspiring artist, a music lover, or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes world of a musician, this episode is filled with inspiration and a celebration of turning passion into purpose.About Daffo: An essential new voice on the indie-rock scene, 20-year-old singer/songwriter Daffo brings an unexpected beauty to the most uncomfortable of feelings. With a poetic specificity that cuts right to the heart, the Brooklyn-based artist speaks an unfiltered truth about all that sets them apart from the wider world, exploring everything from shame and self-loathing to misplaced affection and the chaos of living with an overactive brain. As a kid growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs, the musician otherwise known as Gabi Gamberg first started writing songs after taking up guitar at age 9, then later shaped their intimate yet frenetic sound by playing countless DIY shows in backyards and basements. Recently signed to Concord Records, Daffo is now set to share a new body of work revealing the full depth and power of their strangely poignant songwriting.
