As a rising artist from Pontiac Michigan, Big Norb began rapping when he was 9 years old.

Once he was 20, he was in charge of a recording studio, collaborating with YakTownJDG and Terry Foster Jr. Now he will be starting his first semester of college in the subject of music production at Mott Community College.
His dedication towards his craft, his love for music, and his passion to get better at what he does. He isn’t just doing it for himself, he’s doing it for everyone that has supported him along his journey. He loves all genres of music as long as it feels good to listen to. “I feel like people can relate to my music because I write about real-life situations that we go through day by day”, Big Norb said. “I want people to feel a certain way when they listen to my songs; whether it be happy or sad I want them to feel something! Music is an art form, so why not make art?”
