Brooklyn-raised artist Big Gustoo is building his career around authenticity, real-life storytelling, and an independent mindset. His music draws from personal experiences, allowing him to turn the realities of his journey into records listeners can connect with. His single “FTO” featuring BlockWork represents another step in that progression as he continues expanding his catalog and developing the Big Gustoo brand. After relocating to Atlanta, he gained a new environment to grow his career, including performing in the city in 2022 and learning valuable lessons about navigating the industry. In this interview, Big Gustoo discusses the origin of his name, how his family influenced his passion for music, and what MoneyAttached represents to his overall vision. He also opens up about the challenges and advantages of remaining independent, how assembling a professional team has changed the way he approaches his career, and what fans can expect from his upcoming mixtape. With Brooklyn as his foundation and Atlanta becoming part of his next chapter, Big Gustoo is focused on building something that lasts and creating a legacy bigger than the music.
