Bigavell is a London based rapper originally from the southside of Portugal in Marguem Sul. His journey into music started at a young age with his father being a producer/singer and songwriter. He took influence from the likes of ‘Shulas’, ‘Boss Ac Black Company’ and ‘Mind The Gap’, his favourite Portuguese rappers. He was inspired by his fathers Kisomba music which is a style of Portuguese RNB. Watching his dad in the studio triggered his obsession with music. Bigavell and his twin brother Gucci started rapping at the age of 8, they would freestyle with each other for hours back to back. He was later introduced to the American Hiphop scene and started listening to the likes of ‘NAS’ and ‘Wu-Tang Clan’. When he moved to London he lived with other creatives, he kept freestyling and turned his hobby into a profession. He took influence from many UK artists such as ‘Joe black’, ‘Squeeks’ ‘So solid crew’ and ‘Meeks’. He created a group called Kichiba Crew and made his first tape produced by his father. Bigavell then took a 10 years hiatus from music before later picking up his passion with his twin brother Gucci and friend Big Smokes. Bigavells sound takes influence from his Portugese routes but also his UK background. Following both the UK music scene and the Portuguese music scene he describes himself as a Portuguese HIPHOP artist with a UK drill twist. He prides himself with his organic lyrics focusing on his life experiences and struggles, with all his songs staying real.
