Big Yella is a hard up and coming R&Bmixed with a gangsta/an old school feelsolo music artist,but don't get it mistaken,in a bit over a decade,he has been around!,but mostly behind the music industry scenes,his former group"Soja" arranged songs for Sony Records in Nashville TN.,and from several songs arranged,three went platinum on the country charts such asBroken Wing, Brothers Keeper, Angels Among Us.He and his group also opened the 1996 Hawks/Lakers game in ATL.,with the U.S.Anthem,and was on Entertainment Tonight,plus so much more.....,when dealing with an artist like Big Yella, having alot under his belt as he does.....To know him, to hear him,is to be deeply overwhelmed..

Have you performed in front of an audience?
I sing live every now and then, mostly when I'm not busy working on my music.I enjoy performing on stage when it's the right time, but I don't like to be put on the spot, ya feel me? ha ha..Performing the U.S. Anthem at the Hawks/Lakers game was hype,I hadn't performed for that many people before,earlier in my career, also performing at the Planet Hollywood in ATL. was cool...
Your musical influences
I would say my musical influences to name a few, are New Edition and Marvin Gaye, but I really grew up listening primarily to Gospel music,I listened to artists such as Rev.John P. Kee, Rev.James Cleveland and Mahalia jackson..
What equipment do you use?
To each is thier own, but I don't really care for techno music..
