In an industry where authenticity and energy can make all the difference, Big Vader is an artist on the rise. With a name inspired by the iconic Star Wars character and a sound that blends raw emotion with unbridled enthusiasm, Big Vader is making his mark on the music world.
Born Stephen Barr, Big Vader’s journey into music began during a difficult time. His father fell ill, and the daily struggle to cope with the situation sparked a creative outlet. “My father getting sick is what got me into music,” he explains. “The day-to-day struggle of surviving and wanting to be a better version of myself… that’s what my music is about.”
What sets Big Vader apart is his infectious energy and unwavering commitment to being himself. “I bring an unlimited supply of energy,” he says. “I’m myself 365 and have no problem standing on that. I show everybody it’s alright to be different and not always be accepted.” This message of acceptance and empowerment resonates with listeners looking for music that speaks to the soul.
Big Vader’s lyrics are a testament to his journey. One of his favorite lines underscores his determination: “If I gotta walk alone through the storm and the rain, I’m coming… born alone, I’ma die alone, bet my legacy gone mean something.” It’s a powerful declaration of his intent to leave a lasting impact, no matter the challenges he faces.
And his hard work is paying off. Big Vader is on track to earn his second plaque this year, with his sights set on hitting the charts once again. He’s also aiming to finish the year with 2-3 million streams of his music and release his debut music video. With his momentum building, Big Vader is an artist to watch.
