Lawrence Smith
Lawrence Smith is the CEO and is currently the sole artist recording under the GODisBIG label. The label began in 2003 with the intention of producing media that was considered an alternative to the standard of the world. The goal was to release not only music, but also plays, books, and videos. The first project from the label was 'Fire In My Bones' in 2004 , which was met with critical acclaim, garnered international sales in the UK, Italy, and Japan, and a Just Plain Folks award in 2007. In 2009, the follow up CD, 'The Preaching of the Cross and other Foolishness' was released. Although the single 'Stop What Ya Doing' was met with much success, and many were impacted by the message of the CD, it did not do as well in regards to sales. In 2008, GODisBIG shifted its emphasis from media to ministry, where we felt we could make a more effective and immediate impact. With that in mind, Lawrence Smith released 'Not 4 Sale' in 2009, a free EP that was created specifically as an evangelism tool, giving an alternative form of hip hop music to the unsaved. GODisBIG then prepared to release Lawrence Smith's final CD, 'The Campaign', which was released in January 2011. The CD has been wildly popular, featuring the singles 'Spellbound' and 'Gotta Stay Fresh'. The CD is already nearing its second run, and a promotional tour in the midwest area is being planned.
