Bigz

Bigz is one of the UK's most recognisable and charismatic talent's both signed and unsigned.

Bigz first entered the music industry with his business partners Tayo 'ESQ' Badru and Olu 'Father' Olabagju, setting up their record label/production company Alliance Records. They then released Bigz debut singles 'Cor Blimey' and 'This Is How We Do' and also co-released Sway's Mercury Music Award nominated album, ‘This Is My Demo'. In 2006 they intended to release Bigz debut album but due to the tragic loss of his older brother Akeem 'Banger' Oriola and both business partners mentioned above in the mere space of 12 months, Bigz took an extended hiatus from the industry. 'I needed time to deal with it, with myself and with my family, now by the grace of God your boy is back'. During his time away he opened his own studio 'The Loft', launched his new record label 'Fly Boy Records', his entertainment company 'Flyboy Ent' and his ‘Flygerian’ phrase which has now turned into a brand and cloth...
