Perry “BIGG BANG” Bender is an Omni-creative artist whose talent spans the multitudes of artistry.
​
As a DJ, producer, singer, songwriter, and lyricist he got his start in the art world at a young age as his mother introduced him to “sketch” drawing which captivated his attention and created an outlet to express his wildly imaginative ideas and interests creatively.
Growing up as the fourth of five siblings to two parents on the West side of Detroit he was influenced by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, The Art of Noise, Bob Marley, Sade, Beethoven, BIGGie, and Jay-Z as both his parents and older brother’s music traveled throughout the house.
He was exposed to Hip-Hop, Funk Rock, Rock & Roll, Heavy Metal, Neo-Soul, R&B, Pop, Reggae, Classical, Jazz, and Folk not only from home but also in the educational realm and sports world he was immersed in as a child.
The evolution of his college journey encouraged and incentivized him to take his recently developed skill of DJing, music theory training, and longtime passion for music from the background to the center stage of his world.
He began traveling to larger media markets outside of the Midwestern region such as Atlanta spurring a following for himself through DJing college and frat parties at The University of Georgia.
His journey led him to Miami where he went on to open shows as a DJ for the likes of DJ Khaled further cultivating his sound through experience and exposure to the vast cultures that circulate through Miami seasonally by way of food, music, entertainment, and connections.
​
BIGG BANG’s unique sound stems from the wide range of spaces he experiences from teaching all the way to traveling and connecting as an artist. His sound grew roots from DJing and his admiration for southern hip-hop leading to connections across southern regions.
That love for southern sound led him to more diverse musical spaces like Jazz, R&B, House, EDM, and many more further expanding his knowledge, taste, and skill sets in the artistry of music. As his depth of music grew so did his appetite for learning and musical exploration.
He began producing, leading him to songwriting and recording, where he continues to sharpen the many skills he’s gained to create and take his art to spaces yet to be seen.
