About B.I.G. – Brothers Igniting a Groove

Based in Southern California, B.I.G. (Brothers Igniting a Groove) brings you the best of R&B, Smooth Jazz, and Old School Funk. Founded in 2002 by Marcus “Slim” Shaw, this powerhouse group is known for its high-energy performances and undeniable musical chemistry.

The Band:

🎸 Marcus “Slim” Shaw – Founding member, bassist, and vocalist. A National Recording Artist with his debut CD “Choice”, Slim also spent over two decades working in nuclear power as a Radiation Protection Supervisor/Technician (seriously, we don’t think he ever sleeps). His nickname? The Energizer.

🎤 John Martin (aka Jon Mykal) – Lead vocalist. By day, he’s an IT specialist and sound engineer; by night, he channels Prince like nobody’s business—and crushes every other track too.

🎸 Robert “Bullet” Harris – Guitar and vocals. A full-time musician with a full-time smile. We’re pretty sure someone pays him just to radiate good vibes.

🥁 Kevin Henderson – Drums. He may be the youngest of the bunch, but his talent is anything but small.

🎹 John “DeShezo Shenzo” Bell – Keys and vocals. Nicknamed The Toolkit, because he’s got every part covered. D.S. is also a film/TV composer and an audio-video production wiz.
