​Born the fourth child of six, life was tough growing up in the streets of Milwaukee.  With gang violence and drugs plaguing the community, Stoney Pebbles sought a different path and at the age 12 he took to skateboarding and drawing to escape the negative environment. 

 

In 1991 after high school, Stoney Pebbles moved to Atlanta, Arizona and Hollywood working  as a stagehand for national recording artist, skateboarding in music videos and doing stunt work in major motion pictures.  While filling his days with skateboarding, art and music he amassed a crew of life-long, like-minded friends and connections that set the stage for future endeavors. 

 

Despite the fact that skateboarding and other ventures were profitable, the party lifestyle took its toll and Stoney Pebbles moved back to Atlanta in 2000 to re-invent his life.

​

In 1995, Stoney Pebbles formed the band Big Black Biscuit with a group of friends and quickly created a cult following.  Unfortunately success did not last  Plagued with bad luck, losing one band member to prison and another to deportation, things came to a halt.  Staying true to his passion, the second incarnation of Big Black Biscuit was born in 2014. 

​

Big Black Biscuit currently consists of lead vocalist STONEY PEBBLES, ghetto luchador TAAKAA POPOFF, drummer POOKIE LUNCH MEAT, guitarist BUNCHIE SLAWSON and DINGO SHANK on the cow bell. 

 

Now Big Black Biscuit is more than a band it is an alternative lifestyle brand with clothing, skateboards, art and alternative publications.
