In as much as size is nothing, Emmanuel Olaoluwa better known by
the stage name – Big Man has proven beyond reasonable doubt that size has
nothing to do with talent and potentials.

| BigMan live on stage |
Born and raised in Bariga, few of the notorious suburbs still
existing on the mainland in Lagos, Nigeria. He was discovered in December of
2015 during a hood reggae dancehall challenge tagged ITAL SOUNDS RIDDIM CLASH
REPPING UR HOOD AJ CITY Vs FESTAC. It is pertinent to note this CLASH culture
within reggae dancehall has assisted in shaping the future and careers of
number of artistes within this genre in Jamaica and the World beyond. Ital
Sounds as a sound system has continued to push and advance this culture in
Nigeria despite the reluctance and short-sightedness of artistes.
Big Man has come to understand the culture of reggae dancehall
music and importance of the various and numerous mentorship and tutelage he
receives from Ital Sounds team. Within the first half of 2016, Big Man has
proven to his fans and foes that patience and dedication are some of the
hallmarks of success.
He copiously wowed the audiences at different intervals within
the outgoing year (2016), some of these moments includes; the memorial
celebration of Afrobeat Legend - Fela at New Afrika Shrine in Ikeja, Reggae
Legend - Bob Marley’s Remembrance at All Seasons Hotel garden in Gowon estate
and Freedom Park, Nigeria then colonial prison turn centre for Arts and
Cultural events. With his feet consistently on the accelerator for success Big
Man would eventually emerge as the next big thing for reggae dancehall music in
Nigeria (African).
He is beginning to master the sing-jay style from the various
mentorships received from the Ital Sounds Team. The classroom effect live on
stage every Tuesday at the New Afrika Shrine is indeed evident in his
delivery and overall performance. The WORD they say is enough for the WISE, the
question is HOW WISE ARE YOU?
