Amphibious "R.A" Dude, better known by his stage name, Gary the Gaget Dude or GGD, is an EDM disc-jockey and grime rapper from Club Penguin, who is signed to the independent record label, Hood Records. He was born in PreTerra and currently resides in GGD Island. His career first started with producing grime beats and then rapping in 2006 in the Night Club. He then joined the grime group G Hood Crew along with friends Craze, Matchless, Blazing, Fatal and Beetle. GGD commonly makes EDM music with a mix of grime and techno-grime, one of his more signature sounds. He is most famously known for the novelty track "I Am Fail", bringing a catastrophic end to his musical career, but made a comeback in 2016 with his second studio album Revival. His debut album Gaget Duude (2010) fared well in the charts, as it was luckily released a few weeks before the viral success of "I Am Fail".

Background[edit]
Early years[edit]
One day, in PreTerra where New Club Penguin is now, Gary the Gadget Dude was born. It was on April 22, 1993 and was named Amphibious "Reptile Andrew" Dude at birth. He was very close to his mother, but not his father as he was never nice to him. Amphibious was never pampered, and never really got anything special; just 10 dauroes per month was his pocket money. His space and items were very limited, due to his poor family. There were only three rooms in his igloo; a bedroom, a bathroom, and a tiny kitchen. The bedroom was too small for him anyway, so they discovered an attic and he slept there, and had bought a second-hand bed from a yard sale for 15 dauroes; a bed, and that was basically the only thing in his bedroom/attic. He had a very small draw which had some stolen goods from supermarkets, his very old toothbrush, limited amount of toothpaste and a towel as big as a sheet of A4 paper. It was clear that the family was budget. They never really made any friends with anyone (his whole family). When he was 6 years old in 1999, he had saved up enough money to buy himself a dozen treats. Half of his money he decided to buy on... an album. A music album. And that first album he would of ever bought would of been Nyninyne's The Sly Shadow LP. He was very intrigued in Nyninyne - loving his music and rapping abilities. He immediately took to the stage and started rapping himself. At the same time he realized he would need some sort of equipment to produce music. With the rest of his money, he bought a disc-jockey set. His parents never really came into his room, and they never knew what he was buying and doing. Soon after in 2001 when he was 8, he had self-taught himself how to use the disc-jockey set. His rapping was adequate, however; there were many penguins living in his block that participated in weekly rap battles, and he wasn't the best, sadly.
Musical career[edit]
2009–10: Gaget Duude[edit]
He was still satisfied, though. His rap lyrics was described as "cheesy" by some of the penguins around his block, but knew that "he has talent in DJing". The same routine carried in till he was 13 in 2006, when he moved out of his parents igloo (managing the smuggle out his DJ set and other items). His parents never asked where he was going, but just let him. Eventually he looked in the "Vacant Igloos" directory and found out that one of his rap battling friend, Sk8rbluscat had a vacant igloo. He asked to move in and they became even more closer friends.
One year had passed and at age 17, GGD headed to Penguin State University. He didn't have to pay to go to the university for reasons unknown. Here, he met some of his closest friends, Barkjon, Hat Pop, etc. GGD only lasted for one year at the university, due to coming up with a hit song ("I Wanna Hold Your Hand") and CPMR heard it, allowing him to finally release his first album and begin his music career.
GGD's first album, Gaget Duude, had his first ten songs on it, some of which include "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", "Make It Shine" and "Wake Up". Months after, he was invited to parties, photo shooting (for music magazines) and all sorts of things.
2010–14: I Am Fail[edit]
GGD suffered from his accidental hit single, "I Am Fail", for over four years. It had a detrimental effect on his music career, despite its chart success. Club Penguin Music Records dropped him from their label and GGD had to go back to local DJing.
2015–present: Career revival[edit]
Eventually penguins end up forgetting about "I Am Fail". This gave Gary a chance to revive his career. He is planning to release his second album Revival in 2016, six years after his debut Gaget Duude.

- Make it Shine
- Lyrics: Here I am. Once again. Feeling lost but now and then. I breathe it in. To let it go. And you don't know where you are now. What if only somebody could hear. If you figure out how,your lost in the moment you disappear! You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action! Tomorrow don't forget you'll be the main attraction! Not a fantasy, just remember me. When it turns out right. Cuz you know if you live in your imagination. Tomorrow you'll be everyone's fascination! In my victory,just remember me.

Cuz you know if you live in your imagination. Tomorrow you'll be everyone's fascination! In my victory,just remember me. When I make it SHINE!!!!
- Wake Up
- Lyrics: Well it's a beautiful day, on the Serengeti. The perfect time, to snag a pup. I'll find Zeke, and win this dumb game, as soon as my legs wake up. Going alone makes you look sad and pathetic, plus you'll die without a trace. We teamed up and almost had a Zeke. I could see the zits right on his face. "Almost" gets you nowhere around here. Your a looser duo that's all. Looser is what the lion called you, when you couldn't find your balls. Traq balls that is, I wonder where they went. Well it's a beautiful day on the Serengeti. The perfect time, to snag a pup. I'll find Zeke, and win this dumb game. As soon as my legs wake up. My leg. My hand. My arm. Ugh, my face. Wake up!!!!! Wake up!!!!!!
