Walmart Drip released June 4th just in time for the summer and all that Walmart shopping to come!
Bigg Vinny‘s roots run deep in the Music City, as a second generation in Nashville’s music scene Hickerson was raised up looking up to his father’s legacy of music.
Hickerson’s heritage runs strong in his genes as he has followed the footsteps of his father, his mentor being a phenomenal guitar player, who graced the stage as a touring musician for legends such as Loretta Lynn, Steve Miller Band, Alan Jackson, David Allen Coe and many more.
With that inspiration, Hickerson took it to heart and set his sights on Nashville that set the stage for his career ahead. After playing every stage possible in Nashville, the singer-songwriter garnered himself a publishing deal and next would become the next stage that would change his life, to be signed to a major record company. Hickerson became one half of the band The Trailer Choir which later became signed to Toby Keith’s record label and was quickly nicknamed “Bigg Vinny” because he weighed in at an astounding 426 lbs. The nickname stuck but not his trademark weight! After a near death experience due to his obese weight, the country singer was chosen as a contestant on Season 12 of “ NBC’s The Biggest Loser.”
The once obese man shed the fat to become the svelte 242 lbs. Vinny’s voice now echoes far beyond the realms of music, reaching hearts as a motivational speaker and advocate for health and fitness. His very existence has become a living testament to the power of determination.
