When great music is made, you must include Big Stove as one of the authors.
Born in Cleveland, OH Big Stove never had the idea of being a rapper. However his
late cousin named, Rayshon "Ray Fresha" Ford, was destined to be the next to blow.
Until his life was taken away in an automobile accident. Big Stove and Fresh were as
close as brothers. Big Stove made a promise to himself that he would do his best to
keep Rayshon's legacy alive by becoming a rap artist.
When it comes to music, Big Stove has no boundaries. This Cleveland Ohio
native brings the energy and originality that the music scene has been missing. With
a Bachelors' degree from Kent State, and continuing grad school at Walden U, Big
Stove has a grasp on using a broad vocabulary. He is also a former teacher, who
specialized in being there for each and every student he encountered. Stove loves to
assist the community any way he can. Not only is he the sound engineer and DJ for
his church, he is also the assistant director of the youth club at his church.
He's also a DJ, and has released a few mix-tapes while in the Nerve DJs family
since 2012. He is very multi-talented and wont stick to one type of genre. His last
single was a boom bap type of production, and now he just released something for
the club called "Benjamin Banks". He has worked with many different producers, but
his most ac-knowledgeable producer is K.E. On the Track, who produced "Benjamin
Banks" and his upcoming single "Soaked Up".
Michael Stover a.k.a. Big Stove is sure to be the next to explode in the
industry. During his time at Kent State, Stove was everywhere. From being a radio
personality to hosting many of the campus events, he made his presence known.

shows out at every performance, no matter who is in attendance. He has opened for
