Steven Cooper is proof that where you come from doesn’t define where you’re going. Raised in central Missouri in a chaotic home shaped by violence, addiction, and survival, Cooper turned to music as both therapy and escape. The son of a stripper and a drug addict, he spent his early years navigating instability—finding his voice through lyrics that would eventually become his outlet.

Not your typical rapper in image or sound, Cooper leans into the unexpected. With a look that’s more “corporate America” than conventional hip-hop, he flips expectations—delivering emotionally charged lyrics over a fusion of rap, rock, and pop production. Authenticity isn’t a marketing angle for him—it’s the foundation.

His breakout single “Born To Do” catapulted him into the spotlight after being featured on the NFL Pro Bowl, climbing into the Top 100 and eventually surpassing 100 million streams with over 200 licensing placements. He followed it up with fan favorites like “Bigger” and "1 Shot", solidifying his place as a force in independent hip-hop.

Beyond the music, Cooper is a relentless entrepreneur. With over 20 years in the game, he founded Bigger Entertainment in 2015, building a catalog of more than 20,000 masters and publishing rights across genres.

His work has reached global audiences through partnerships with Google, Kellogg, and major gaming placements like MLB The Show. He’s shared stages and recognition alongside icons such as Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Tech N9ne, and more.
