Big Korey

Korey “Big Korey” Roberson was just 3 when he crawled into his family’s home recording studio, made his way into a chair at the helm of the boards, turned on all of the equipment and sat there singing. At 5, his intuitive ear for melodies made him a pint-sized A&R for producers and DJs decades older looking for a fresh, unbiased perspective and at 7, he was penning songs, as well as appearing in videos (DJ Unk’s “Walk It Out”) and performing in front of audiences of over 20,000. By his 8th birthday, Big Korey had produced his first song “Fresh Dressed,” which appeared on DJ Unk’s Billboard-topping album Beatin Down Yo Block. As the son of the legendary and pioneering Atlanta-based music executive Big Oomp and heir to the throne of the Big Oomp Camp empire, which at its peak controlled much of the entertainment scene in the south, the 21 year-old Rapper-Songwriter-Actor is ready to begin a new legacy.

Big Korey possesses a humble yet confident spirit, which mirrors his approach to tracks; he spits rhymes that build up versus tear down, but the beats rock hard and loud. “I see myself in college but also being a successful producer, artist, actor and one of the greats that ever did it. I’ve spent most of my life preparing for this moment, whatever it is and whenever it comes. I just know when it happens it’s going to be big.” Everything about Big Korey is “big” except his ego.
