BIG SLIM WAS BORN ON A CARIBBEAN ISLAND CALLED ST. LUCIA. GROWING UP ON THE ISLAND, HE HAD A GREAT PASSION FOR MUSIC AND WOULD ALWAYS FIND HIMSELF HANGING OUT WITH THE LOCAL DJ'S AND DANCE GROUPS. ALTHOUGH THAT PASSION WAS PRESENT THROUGHOUT HIS TEENS, THERE WAS NO OPPORTUNITY FOR SLIM TO GET IN THE GAME. WHEN SLIM WAS 15YEARS OLD, HE MOVED TO MINNESOTA TO FINISH SCHOOL/BETTER HIS LIFE. SLIM CONTINUED TO HAVE A LOVE FOR MUSIC BUT CONCENTRATED MORE ON HIS SECOND LOVE: BASKETBALL (THAT REQUIRED LESS EQUIPMENT). WHEN HE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL, SLIM WAS OFFERED A COUPLE SCHOLARSHIPS TO PURSUE WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS HIS DREAM AT THAT TIME: PLAYING PRO BALL. INSTEAD HE TURNED DOWN THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO CONCENTRATE MORE ON AN EDUCATION, EVEN THOUGH HE PLAYED BALL 24/7 365. WHILE AT SCHOOL HE WORKED TOWARD A DEGREE IN AUTOMOTIVE AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING, AND IN 2006 HE GRADUATED FROM MINNESOTA STATE MANKATO. NEEDLESS TO SAY, A JOB IN THAT FIELD DIDN'T PRESENT ITSELF WRAPPED WITH A BOW. DURING THE SUMMER SLIM HEARD A SAYING ON THE RADIO STATION B96 THAT WOULD CHANGE HIS LIFE FROM THAT MOMENT ON, THE SLOGAN WAS "HOW HARD DO YOU HU$TLE". IT WAS SO INFECTIOUS HE DECIDED TO PUT HIS PRIDE TO THE SIDE AND GET A JOB TO PAY THE BILLS. HE HAD A DESIRE TO MEET THE MAN WHO BASICALLY GAVE HIM THE MOTIVATION, THE DRIVE TO DO ALL THE THINGS THAT HE WANTED TO DO AND THE UNDERSTANDING THAT EVERYTHING TAKES TIME AND IF SOMETHING IS WORTH WAITING FOR IT MUST BE GOOD. HE WENT OUT TO A CLUB TO MEET THIS MAN NOT KNOWING WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE, ONLY HIS NAME AND WHAT HE SOUNDED LIKE. THIS MAN WAS PETER PARKER AND THEY BEEN HOMEBOYS EVER SINCE. HE INTRODUCED SLIM TO A COUPLE OF THE TWIN CITIES HOTTEST DJ'S, BIG REECE AND BROTHER JULES. ALL THAT WAS NECESSARY AT THAT POINT WAS LAB TIME. HE USED HIS MAGNETIC PERSONALITY AND HIS DRIVE FOR MUSIC TO STEER HIM. SLIM STARTED PUTTING IN THE NECESSARY WORK WITH BIG REESE, BROTHER JULES AND WAS GIVEN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITIES TO OPEN THE NIGHT AT SOME OF THE BIGGEST CLUBS IN THE CITY. SLIM ONLY HAD A COUPLE MONTHS EXPERIENCE BUT PRACTICED EVERY NIGHT AT HOME AND CONTINUED TO IMPROVE WITH THE BASICS, HIS METHODS, AND HIS OWN PERSONAL STYLE. HIS FIRST OFFICIAL OPPORTUNITY TO DO A PARTY WAS THE YOUNG DRO CONCERT IN MAY 2007. THE MOVEMENT IS IN MOTION, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.............YOU FIGURE THE REST.
