Shaggy, Lavbbe make a Move

Shaggy, Lavbbe make a Move

Grammy-Award winning Jamaican artiste Shaggy as well as Romanian content creator Lavinia “Lavbbe” Calin have seen massive success for their collaboration titled Move.

The track has an accompanying music video that has gained over 1.3 million views on popular streaming platform
YouTube since its June release.

“The reception has been good enuh. We actually went #1 on On The Radar, which is a massive platform, and we’ve actually surpassed Drake, which was at #1 on there. We went on tour a couple weeks back; she came [and] did all the promo. We did New York, we did Baltimore, we did West Virginia, and recently I was in California and a couple of the fans were coming up and asking if she was going to be there,” Shaggy told the Jamaica Observer.

Move was produced by Costi, while the music video was directed by Jay Will.

Shaggy also said that the world can expect to hear more collabs with the trendy, fast-rising star.

“We wrote like six songs with her. We have some other songs in the works. We ago help her out; we do music for a whole bunch of people. We always a mek music and come up with new vibes for multiple people. It doesn’t matter where the artiste is, or who they are, whatever the vibe that we come up with and it sounds like a particular person, we draw for that person,” he added.

Meanwhile, Lavbbe revealed that it was a dream come true to finally collaborate with a Jamaican artiste after listening to reggae and dancehall all her life.

“The UK is big on Jamaica, and the music itself. I grew up in the culture… and I grew up within that kind of vibe listening to the great artistes of Jamaica. There’s so much that I can say I love about the Jamaican songs and the way they have influenced me,” she told the Observer.

At 15 years old Lavbbe moved from Romania to the UK to continue her studies at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Though she did her degree in aviation management, inspired by the experience of the world’s great dancers, she also attended contemporary dance, acting, and singing classes for one year.

With millions of followers on social media already, Lavbbe says she anticipates further success in her budding music career.

“I’ve always seen myself as a big star ever since I was a child. I am going after my dream, and doing what I love to do, and then I will let God decide what to do with it,” she said.
