GALLO, also known as VibesByGallo, is a rapper, producer, and videographer from Connecticut. He is known for being a “jack of all trades” by contributing the most during the production of his content.

Nicholas “Nick” Gallo was born on August 24, 1995, in Connecticut. When he was a kid, Nick would join his cousins and his older brother in writing and performing raps for their family. When Nick was 10/11 years old, he discovered GarageBand on his parents' Mac, and was interested in the idea of producing music. At age 15, Nick came across and was amazed by a video of a music producer chopping up a soul sample , and subsequently begged his parents to buy him a beat pad. Once his parents obtained him a beat pad, Nick fiddled around with it and started posting beats to YouTube under the name Oven Fresh Beats.

While in high school, Nick started rapping under the name “Achilla,” posting a few songs online, but mainly stuck to producing music. He met classmate Marc Vinyls, and together the duo would make songs and post them on a now-inactive YouTube channel. In 2014, as a college student at Plymouth State University, Nick put out his first mixtape, The Good Life (Under the name Nick Gallo), and started releasing remixes of popular songs, with his biggest hit being a remix of Miley Cyrus’s “Do My Thang”. Before being taken down due to copyright infringement, the “Do My Thang” remix reached 500,000+ views on his SoundCloud page, and Nick still gained plenty of followers.

During his college years, Nick Gallo steadily produced music and projects, as well as performing shows, mainly at his college. In 2016, he re-branded himself to GALLO, or VibesbyGallo, following the release of his song “The Wave”. Since then, he has released at least one project a year, alongside plenty of other singles. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, GALLO announced his journey of releasing one song a week for 52 weeks, dubbing it THE GOLDEN YEAR. The songs are entirely written, produced, and mastered by GALLO himself, and released on Wednesdays.
