In a time where image often overshadows intention, Big HAN brings something rare to the table: honesty. His music is more than a craft — it’s a calling, a way of being. With roots in poetry and a soul steeped in artistic purpose, Big HAN creates music that isn’t just meant to be heard — it’s meant to be felt.

Origins: From Poetry to Production

Big HAN’s journey into music didn’t start with industry dreams or viral moments — it began with poetry and proximity. A poet at heart, he was always writing, always expressing. But it wasn’t until a few friends introduced him to the accessibility of a recording studio that things began to shift.

“I was always a poet, but I didn’t know how accessible the studio was until I started doing it. From then on I was addicted.”

What started as experimentation quickly grew into devotion. The pen met the mic, and the poet became a recording artist.

Influences: Family Legacy and Genre-Blending Inspiration

For Big HAN, influence starts at home.

“My grandfather was the original poet, and I guess it passed down.”

From there, his musical world expanded. He was shaped by the lyrical power of artists like Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, G Herbo, Dave East, Chance the Rapper, and Big Sean, as well as the creative collective energy of Odd Future. But his appreciation doesn’t stop at hip-hop. Big HAN’s sound draws on the musicality of Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, and even Stevie Nicks, pulling from a wide range of genres to create something entirely his own.

A Turning Point: Becoming Big HAN

The turning point came in 2016, a year that — in his words — “flipped a switch.” Music became more than a pastime; it became a purpose.

“Music and Art is the essence of God. That was the biggest seller for me.”

That same year was, culturally, one of the most pivotal for music in recent history. For Big HAN, it served as both validation and motivation. Two years later, in 2018, he embraced a new identity: Big HAN.

The name itself is layered with meaning. HAN is an acronym for Humbled Ambitious Nigga — but, as he says, “the H is honestly interchangeable… depends on the day.” It’s a name that embodies both humility and hunger, flexibility and fire.

The Process: Spirit Over Structure

Big HAN doesn’t rely on formulas. His creative process isn’t rigid or rehearsed — it’s spiritual. Inspiration flows from the people in his life, the lessons of the everyday, and the highs and lows that shape us all.

“Life in general. The highs, lows and everything in between inspires me to put pen to pad. It’s that or harbor all of these things that may not serve me.”

There’s no set ritual — only intention. Every song is born from something real, something observed or endured. That authenticity is what makes his music resonate.

The Latest Project: A Message of Ascension

His most recent project continues the through-line that runs across all of Big HAN’s work: healing through honesty.

“The message is what it always is. Just because you’re flesh and you feel hopeless or damaged, unlovable or whatever. Doesn’t mean you can’t ascend.”

The music doesn’t shy away from struggle. Instead, it leans in — confronting brokenness, vulnerability, and the tension between who we are and who we’re meant to become. This is music for anyone who has felt stuck, unseen, or uncertain — and it offers not just validation, but vision.

“We get lost on this journey so we can be found. So we can access our true potential.”

The biggest challenge in creating the project? Procrastination — a battle many artists know well. But as with the themes in his music, Big HAN pushes through, driven by something deeper.

A Standout Track: Ebb and Flow

When asked which track means the most to him, his answer shifts with the day. But one song that captures the spirit of the project is Ebb and Flow.

“Because that’s literally what I mean.”

It’s a reflection of his whole approach: honoring the rhythm of life, embracing its unpredictability, and finding peace in the movement.
