New Artist Alert: Meet Big E
Its been a minute since we introduced a new artist to the public. Meet Big E, Big E was born on the beautiful and tropical island of Dominica. At just the age of 8, he began his journey as a trumpet player under the guidance of his instructor at the time Mr. Eddy Henry. He later migrated to St. Croix U.S.V.I where he continued studying music with the guidance of then music teacher and now principal Mr. Mario Thomas at the John. H. Woodson Jr High School. Big E elevated to the next level under the directive of Mr. Stanford Joines at the Central High School. It was there the artist realized his true potential to make a career out of music. He tried his hand in writing and a little bit of singing but didn't take it as seriously as he took playing the trumpet. In 2010 he received his acceptance to Berklee College of music in Boston. Unfortunately he didn't get to attend as a student there. After graduating from high school he began playing and recording with some well known bands from the different islands and a few international artists. Bands and artists such as WCK, Swinging Starz, (African) Atta Buafo, Canve Adams, etc. He performed on big stages such as the World Creole Music Festival in 2012 and Creole and Jazz 2012 in Dominica. The music never seemed to stop but did slow down drastically. Big E began playing smaller gigs at 2 + 2 restaurant along with other venues, because he refused to give up on music. However in 2020 he decided to take his music to the next level with the assistance of his producer and engineer the talented Mr. Prez. Big E producer encouraged him to bring his voice to life. This further motivated him to bring to life songs in which he began developing in high school while incorporating life experiences in the present time. Big E has since evolved into an artist that plays and sing at times and can do both on stage. His first two singles are out now on all streaming platforms, and the 6 song ep Hard Times will be released very soon. Music means the world to this artist, everywhere in life there is music. In the steps you make, in the things you see and in all you do. Big E's main goal when it comes to music is to reach the heart of at least one person. Just to have them feel the emotion and direction of the song and take them on a journey. Currently he's working on a 12 song album and very first music video. In the next 5 years the artist sees himself still doing music that reaches the hearts of fans. While contributing to the growing music industry in the Virgin Islands.
