Her track, Feel It, was even nominated for Song of the Year at the RTÉ Choice Music Awards. Hailing from Dublin, Arlo has held a variety of jobs, including working at Rituals, Dunnes Stores, and Cineworld. She splits her time between Dublin and Glasgow, Scotland. Since releasing her first single in 2020, she has established a remarkable career. Bobbi has sold-out shows in Dublin and graced the stages of prominent festivals, including Spain's Primavera.

While Arlo possesses a distinctive funky look, she maintains that her style and appearance aren't influenced by anyone. Speaking to the Irish Independent, she shared: 'My visual look is mad. It's literally whatever I like at the time. I'm very indecisive. I bounce between streetwear and grunge. It's like day and night. I suit my many different personalities.' I like edgier things. I wear a lot of black stuff. I just enjoy wearing whatever I feel like on that day. I don't think I have a look because I change it so often.
