BiG Bailey

Tamell “Big” Bailey dreamed of being the world’s strongest man, an Olympian, and an architect—but instead, he built a career throwing words and lifting spirits. A poet, hip-hop artist, and tech geek with a Master’s in IT, he spreads humor, motivation, and positivity like jam on toast. Voted Best Male Poet and Motivational Speaker (IHA Awards 2024) and Best Album winner (Fairfield Music Awards), he co-hosts “Art of Words” monthly; and drops rhymes like dad jokes—consistently and with enthusiasm. When not rocking mics, he’s geeking out over Seinfeld, pineapples, and the purr of a happy cat.
