“I got a lot of solos in the church choir and growing up the only music my mama let us listen to was gospel. We used to have to sneak and listen to the other music”.
At 14, she started writing rhymes and performing at local events, eventually catching the attention of Memphis-based producer and rapper, Yo Gotti.
She began releasing her own music independently in 2018 under the pseudonym "Big Glo".
