2024 Music in Motion Canada 3rd place winner, 2024 & ‘25 FCLMA nominee, and ECA Best Hip Hop/Rnb Artist 2023, Big Lou, has captivated audiences since 2021 and has opened for The Wailers in Mar. 2025.

Picture the essence of rap music basking in the Caribbean sun and embodying love—that's the spirit of Big Lou. Hailing from St. Maarten and now based in London, ON, he spreads his Island Hip Hop sound—a vibrant fusion of Caribbean rhythms, Afro-soul, and Latin energy.

His artistry is further shaped by influences from Logic, Dax, and Connor Price, creating a unique fusion that mesmerizes fans and listeners.

The single, “Regatta” (Mar. 2025), written and co-produced by Big Lou, is an absolute Caribbean party anthem inspired by the Heineken Regatta - the largest warm water regatta in the world that takes place in St. Maarten.

Big Lou says, “My dad suggested the idea and I ran with it, next thing you know, they want to use it as their promo song and want me to perform after the awards ceremony at the event!”

Beyond the stage, he has invested deeply in his artistry, receiving training in recording, performance, and dance, while building his business acumen through platforms like Canada’s Music Incubator. Big Lou’s music transcends entertainment—it’s a heartfelt reflection of his journey, inspiring others to embrace their individuality and chase their dreams.

Whether organizing collaborative albums, leading workshops, mentoring aspiring artists, or Life Coaching, Big Lou is a pillar of his community. His story embodies resilience, creativity, and the belief that with passion and perseverance, anything is possible.
