Middle Tennessee’s own Vencent Hickerson, known affectionately as Bigg Vinny, embodies the essence of Nashville’s rich musical legacy. Raised amidst the melodies and rhythms of the Music City, Hickerson’s journey is a testament to the enduring influence of family heritage and personal passion.

As the son of a respected musician, Hickerson inherited a deep love for music from his father. Growing up, he looked up to his father’s illustrious career, which saw him grace stages alongside legends like Loretta Lynn, Steve Miller Band, and Alan Jackson. Inspired by this legacy, Hickerson embarked on his own musical odyssey, setting his sights on Nashville’s vibrant music scene.

After honing his craft on countless stages across Nashville, Hickerson’s talent caught the attention of industry insiders, leading to a coveted publishing deal. But his trajectory didn’t stop there. Hickerson’s next chapter saw him join forces with The Trailer Choir, a dynamic duo that caught the eye of country superstar Toby Keith, ultimately landing a record deal with his label.

However, Hickerson’s journey took a dramatic turn when his health became a pressing concern. Weighing in at a staggering 426 pounds, he faced a near-death experience that served as a wake-up call.
