She studied there for a year with legendary pianist and singer Patrice Rushen before leaving USC to pursue music full time.

Some artists make music about their hometown. BigHxlq337 makes music from it…Born and raised in Franklin, Louisiana, BigHxlq337 has built his career on telling real stories about the people, places, and experiences that shaped him. Influenced by legends like Nas, Rakim, Z-Ro, and Webbie, he combines thoughtful lyricism with the soul and grit of Southern hip-hop.

What makes BigHxlq337 different is his dedication beyond music. For the past 14 years, he has worked as a teacher and coach, helping students at Centerville High School while continuing to pursue his artistic goals. That commitment to both education and entertainment reflects the same authenticity found throughout his music.

After years of performing with Undivided Band and sharing stages with artists including Z-Ro, Lil’ Keke, Devin the Dude, and Young Bleed, BigHxlq337 has carved out a lane of his own. His latest single, “Round Here,” captures the pride, culture, and community of South Louisiana, offering listeners an honest glimpse into the world he calls home.

As he prepares for the release of his upcoming mixtape, BigHxlq337 remains focused on creating music with lasting impact. Through every verse and performance, he’s proving that staying true to your roots never goes out of style.
