BigcAkeen, born in Gogrial, Sudan. For those who dont know that's in Africa. I was raise by my Dad Joseph Kuol Amuom. War broke out in Sudan in 1983, at that time my dad worked for the goverment of Khartum, he a five star general. Presid Turabi of Khartum wanted to kill my father, at a blink of an eye my dad took all of us. and we fled to the neighboring country Kenya. I attended primary school there and learned to read and write English. Primaryly British english. In 1992 i became a refugee, i was at refugee camp called Kakhuma, at the border of Sudan and Kenya. I would say in my life i've been blessed many times by Almighty God. My sister Margret sent for me, and i came to the capital city of Kenya where she stayed. The year was 1993, my baby sister and i received an affidavid to come to the U.S.A as Political refugees escaping persecution from our country. We landed at Ohere Airport in the summer of 1995, exchanged flight to Houston where we stayed a short while. I attended Westberry High School that Summer. I've always been a music lover, insired the art, i would listen my favs, like Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G, just to name a few. In my life i'm constantly moving around not finding peace anywhere. We moved to Dallas where i attended North Dallas High School and graduted. I attended college that same year at U.H.D in houston, things didn't work out, all the time i've been searching for meaning in life. It was after my incarsoration that i found peace with God, and saw in the talent i now display in my poetry. I've been Writing and performing my lyrics since 2001. So there it is.
