Bio

Shaheed, a.k.a Frank Castle, a.k.a. Big HEED and Ali, a.k.a ALIen are childhood friends that have been performing in many clubs and stages as solo artists for a number of years. In 2008 they decided to become one and together have won numerous talent shows around Atlanta (Adonis International Showcase at The Crow's Nest, Patchwerk Studios I DO MUSIC at Apache Café'). They have also hosted and performed at record-breaking parties and concerts at a few of Decatur's hottest venues (O'Reily's Bar & Grill, The Atrium, and Scores). They've performed at the Annual Luda Day Block Party, and volunteered at Ludacris' Annual Ludachrismas, and the Bi-Annual Sweet Auburn Festival in Atlanta. On Oct. 29th 2008 Big HEED & ALIen made their television debut on the BET’s 106 & Park's Wild Out Wednesday where they won 1st place by a landslide vote. Since then they have been invited back to perform live on BET’S 106th & Park as a Wild Out Wednesday All-star Artist Spotlight Act. Recently they have had the esteemed honor of being the 106 & Park's house band and currently can be seen keeping spirits high throughout the entire show on select dates. All this love from BET, the streets, and a now legendary live show was bound to get someone’s attention. Big HEED & ALIen have official signed to Capitol Records and are currently completing their debut major label release entitled Sleep When I Die. http://www.bigheedandalien.net[/link]
