Artist Bio

BIG BOYZ BIO:
Atlanta has always been called the “Motown of the South” so there is no question why Big Boyz Music has flourished here. Transformed from Big Boyz Records established in 1993 in Blytheville, Arkansas, Big Boyz Music was founded in ATL in 2005. Under producers George “DJ Money” Davis and John “FirstCoast” Brown, Big Boyz Music has made a big impression. Their successes include opening for D4L’s Shawty Lo at Club Euro, competing in Django’s Producer Battles with notable labels such as CTE, SoSoDef, and JaWar, and having a feature at Scores. Their accomplishments don’t stop there. They have also landed an endorsement deal with Open Labs, a major computer music technology company. Big Boyz Music’s most recent collaboration with Virginia artist Noah-O on the track “I Got It” has brought them radio air play, recognition in Protégé and Ozone magazines, and broadcast of their track on MTV Jams. Their latest projects include countless mixtapes, appearances, and the release of “Back To Business, Volume 20,” which is set to be available in mid-November. “The things we come up with are truly amazing,” FirstCoast says. “We’ve see n our music in motion and what it does for people. It motivates them, and we just want the world to experience just that when they hear Big Boyz.”

GEORGE “DJ MONEY” DAVIS:
George Davis, CEO of Big Boyz Music, began his musical journey at the age of 12 when he joined his school band in Osceola, Arkansas. Growing up surrounded by music influenced his decision to pursue a production career. He started by DJ-ing at area parties and events under the name DJ Money. He also organized different organizations within his community to raise awareness about violence and its prevention. The moniker “DJ Money” became a household name. After 10 years of production and management in Arkansas, Davis decided to expand his talents and expertise to Atlanta, Georgia. He made the move in 2005 and took his determination and perseverance for success with him. Here, while in school, he teamed up with producer John “FirstCoast” Brown and the rest is history. The two work together to bring their audiences the southern style hip hop they know and love.

JOHN “FIRSTCOAST” BROWN
Big Boyz President John Brown knew that music was his calling at the age of 15. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, he got his start as Kaotik in the group UP-N-FLAMEZ where he performed at the Ritz Theater, The Roxy in Orlando, and other various local venues. Although Jacksonville is the home of artists such as 95 South and the 69er Boys, there was little room for growth for Brown as a young talent. With this notion, Brown made the decision to relocate to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue his music career. In 2004, shortly after his graduation from Englewood High School, Brown arrived in Atlanta. He enrolled in college where he met George “DJ Money” Davis and realized they had much in common, including ambitions to become renowned music producers. By the time the two earned their certifications in Music Production, Microsoft, and Engineering, they had built a business partnership resulting in the success of Big Boyz Music.
