About
Salutations homie, my name is Wermer aka Big Werm. Since everything is AI-generated nowadays, I’ma switch it up and do this shit myself instead. Will there be typos and grammatical errors? Well, I went to public school, so, yeah probably. Don’t judge me.
Anyways. Let’s begin…
I can perform in front of thousands of people, but I can’t tell a waitress if my order is wrong. I’m pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADD. I still collect Pokémon cards because it’s a lifestyle, not a hobby. I’m a millennial who hates social media. I’m an introvert who puts himself at the center of attention. My point is, even with all those weird quirks, I’m a regular degular just like everyone else. The only difference with me is that I was lucky enough to answer my calling at an early age. Music has been a passion of mine for over 15 years and continues to be a catalyst in defining who I am.
So who exactly am I? Well, let’s take it back a bit…
My journey began in 5th grade, where I developed a love for writing poetry after reading “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe. Writing came naturally to me—so natural, in fact—that one of my works was published in Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans that same year. Pretty dope, right? I tend to tell people that this was my canon event. Shoutout to Mrs. Murphy for igniting that initial spark in me.
Fast-forward a couple years...
Picture a scene: A scrawny, brace-faced 7th grader playing Habbo Hotel discovers rap music for the first time. The provocative lyrics and booming beats send shivers down his spine. The BET Uncut music videos help him realize that Catholic school isn’t meant for him anymore. His initial thought is, “how can I become a part of this? How do I become a rapper?”
Thankfully, that nerdy kid had some rhythm…
Spoiler, I’m the nerdy kid, and I decided to take my love for writing poetry and try this rapping thing out. My first ever setup consisted of a POS microphone, a cracked version of Cool Edit Pro and toilet paper for a “pop filter.” I cringe at the thought of it. A couple online friends and I formed a rap group and started remixing songs together, and bruh… dem shits was straight ASS!! LMFAOOO!! Like wtf was I thinking??!?? G… Talk about humble beginnings.
Years later, I start to discover myself...
For roughly 6 years under the pseudonym "Einstein,” I was part of a rap duo called Str8 Like Dat. We built some local buzz, opened for major artists, toured across the United States and eventually inked our first record deal. Unfortunately, in 2016, the experiment that was “Str8 Like Dat” abruptly ended. Despite the book closing on SLD, it was the beginning of a new chapter for myself.
Ay lowkey that last line was cold as hell. Anyways, back to the story…
After parting ways in 2016, I started fresh as a solo artist under the name “Wermer” and released my first official single Only When You Need Me in late-2017. Since then, I’ve dropped a few bangers, a couple slappers and a two-part EP titled LoveSick / Sick of Love. I’ve had my fair share of highs and lows since going solo, yet I still remain a student of the game.
Alright lemme wrap this up…
I have no manager, fancy studio or street team behind me. I have a laptop, a microphone and a dream. My passion continues to push me to be the greatest version of myself. If you support me and my music, understand that you’re supporting a 100% independent artist. Good looks my boy. Now lemme hold $20… this music shit is mad expensive.
