Name: Lorenzo Ball

Social Media Handle/Username: @bigballer_7

Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: Just a simple dude from a big family. Repping Los Angeles to Chino Hills. Former athlete who’s getting his life together so I can do what I love and be successful and grow while doing it.

What Inspires You Every day? : Honestly, just the vision that I have for the future. I look around at the world, the youth, the new “standards” and “trends”. All I think about is: “How can I show people it’s cool to just be you?”. Too many negative things influence people to take sides or try to become something their not. Music also inspires me and aids me in wanting to make these changes.

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: Be honest with yourself and never be ashamed of your truth. The world is designed to keep you quiet, when in reality you could be the person that the world will follow. Be your own leader.

What is your ultimate goal in life? : My ultimate goal in life is to connect with people through music and entertainment. As someone who was struggling with no knowing my “purpose” in life, I want to be able to show people I can relate to them and inspire them to find positive outlets and remind them that they are unique and not alone. Plant the confident seeds of our future visionaries.

What are your thoughts on people who seek attention on social media, and what message would you like to give them? : Spread positivity. The condition that things are in right now we can all use a break from this harsh reality. Never be afraid to show your true colors, accept all constructive criticism, and tune out those who don’t want to see you make it. Also be interactive with your audience! Show them you care and that you hear them.

How would you help people around the world who are going through mental health problems? : The way I would help people with mental health problems is using music to get through to them. We are all suffering in ways the next person can’t see. My music isn’t perfect, but it’s one hundred percent honest. I treat my songs like a public diary. Hopefully those who listen will learn something, or at least listen to what I’m saying because I do my best to be relatable. Human.

How would you describe a better world for us all? : A world where no one is afraid to voice their opinion and others being respectful to their opinions. Be able to have constructive debates, and not be too quick to judge someone.

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: Coming from a famous/infamous family, I view myself as the underdog. But I’ve made a choice to be the dog who is going to break his chain one day. I have big plans for the world that’s going to help those around me, my family, my friends, and everyone who crosses my path. I don’t just plan to be a stand out from family, but a stand out to all.
