Description:
Virginia Tech Union (VTU) and the Black Student Alliance at Virginia Tech (BSA) present Big Sean as the 2017 Spring Concert on Thursday, April 13, 2017 at Burruss Auditorium.

Sean Anderson, a.k.a. Big Sean, was born in Santa Monica, CA and relocated to the west side of Detroit, MI when he was 2 months old. He was raised by his mother and grandparents, who worked steadfastly to instill in him the principles of hard work and determination.

Sean attended the Detroit Waldorf School, a school of art, from Kindergarten to 8th Grade where he was introduced to a spectrum of art and culture. He later attended Cass Technical High School where he furthered his music career, met life long friends, and gained the support of fans and peers as he independently sold copies of his music.

Sean gained a strong relationship with 102.7FM, a local radio station in Detroit where he displayed his rhyming skills weekly. There, he met Kanye West after a radio interview in 2005 and got a chance to display his talent by freestyling for Mr. West, giving him a copy of his music and sending numerous tracks for him to critique. After months of submitting songs and numerous meetings, Sean finally got the call from Kanye West himself saying that he wanted to sign him. Big Sean officially signed to G.O.O.D Music in 2007 and then signed to Island Def Jam in 2008.

Big Sean has earned worldwide attention in music and sneaker circles since the release of his debut album, “Finally Famous,” in 2011. With over 10 million records sold to date, Sean was the first rapper to ever perform at the White House. While his professional work as an artist keeps him extremely busy, Sean finds time and uses his resources to give back through his Detroit-based nonprofit, the Sean Anderson Foundation.
