| About Me: | BIG GRIZZ BIO
"Big Grizz" Born Samuel Mincey December 9th, 1978, grew up in Washington D.C. As a member of the original prophylactic all-stars, and playing in bands his whole life, music has been one of his greatest passions. All though surrounded by GO-GO music, he still was able to keep a hip hop vibe in his home city. He attended Virginia State University for two years to study Political Science until his first son "Eric" was born. The birth of his newborn forced him to drop of school and sell drugs to support his family. After being arrested in 1995 for gun running and facing up to 20 yrs in prison, Grizz had a choice to make to turn his life around. After the incident, everyday Grizz and his brother would record music in their home studio and perform shows locally in the D.C. area. In spring of 2006, Grizz moved to Ocean City, MD where he met local producer "Ian Martin" of FTS Productions. Ian immediately signed Grizz to his indy label and immediately started making songs and performing shows such as the "Funkmaster Flex Custom Car Show" and "Seacrets Night Club". In 2007, Ian decided to take Grizz on a "solo" route producing him a 6 track demo to take to super producer "Swizz Beatz" up in NY. "Swizz" heard Grizz's sound and produced him a custom song wich features Swizzs' vocals as well. Shortly Grizz traveled to NY to record the song naming it "Straight To The Bar". Big Grizz and Swizz are set to film their video for the song in May 08 after the 10 city radio tour Grizz will be featured on with artist "Drag-On". The tour will sweep through NY - Miami hitting power radio stations and clubs in the cities. The video for "Straight To The Bar" is set to air on MTV and BET in June. myspace.com/ftsbiggrizz myspace.com/ftsmusic For Booking information call 619 977 5547 Producers with beats email ftsbeats@gmail.com |
