There are more than one artist using the name B.I.G.
1) B.I.G (Hangul: 비아이지; an acronym for Boys In Groove) is a five-member South Korean boy band under GH Entertainment. The group consists of J-hoon, Gunmin, Heedo and Jinseok.
Gunmin is currently part of the group NIK.
Benji left the group in 2020, in 2021 Minpyo announced that he has left the group as well.
2) Dimos and Michalis Siavelis, 29 and 27 years old respectively, started off with the best possible foundations, which is classical music, and from there managed to enchant us with their electronic compositions! Apart from their 11-year studies in music, both have excellent knowledge of the piano. It was a twist of fate that brought this promising act to Nikos Diamantopoulos and the Yamaha music school where he taught, with Dimos attending classes there and Michalis "apprenticing" at the summer clubs where the well known DJ and producer played.
Their influences range from Yorgie Van Bellen, James Niche, Faithless and Bill Hamel, passing through Banco de Gaia, Deep forest, Future sound of London as well as Jean Michelle Jare, Vangelis Papathanasiou and Brian Eno, while they were also influenced by classic rock acts such as Deep Purple, Dire Straits and undoubtedly Pink Floyd. At the beginning of the 90's, however, their music horizon started clearing up and the two brothers were tempted by the uplifting sounds of house and progressive house.
Their love and passion for music is an integral characteristic of both of the boys. Thus, they showed no resistance in giving in to his greater love and invested in technological equipment, which was the best foundation in order for the two brothers to unfold their talents.
From the moment KLIK Records decided to release B.I.G.'s debut album, it was impressed on every possible occasion that the whole project was recorded literally in front of the Corinthian gulf, as it is a major source of inspiration.
3) Brothers in God, a Swedish 1990's rock band consisting of Peo Thyrén, Stefan Almqvist and Jens Lundvik.
