In this biographical documentary, we take a look at the life of Jackson Stell, following him along his journey to becoming Big Wild, one of the most diverse and genre bending producers of our time. We explore how his early life experiences led him to becoming a hip hop beat maker, known as J Beatz. His time as J Beatz laid the groundwork for him to embark on his journey as a solo electronic artist. Over the years he pushed his sound beyond boundaries, gaining support from renowned music labels and outlets, such as Odesza's Foreign Family Collective, and NEST HQ, a subsidiary of Skrillex's label OWSLA. He was recruited to support major artists on tour, such as Tycho, GRiZ, Zeds Dead, and ODESZA to name a few. All of this exposure helped him build up his own massive fan base of wildly loyal fans, to the point that he now plays on some of the worlds biggest stages. He has had countless appearances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Coachella Music & Arts Festival, Lollapalooza Chicago, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, as well as numerous other major festivals and stages. Even with all this success, he decided one day that he wanted to share more of his story with the world, so he began honing his skills as a vocalist. His 2019 debut album, Superdream, was a fresh twist on his old sound, this time with every musical element shaped around his distinct voice. He explored the outer edges of his sound with his 2022 sophomore album, The Efferusphere. It pushes into a more organic world than Superdream, bordering on psychedelic rock, with punchy drums, washed out high pitched vocals, and plenty of flanger. Over the past decade, we have seen tremendous growth and exploration from the Big Wild project, and it leaves fans on the edge of their seat, always wondering what will come next. Will the lifetime of this project be marked by a never ending relentless exploration of sound? Or has Jackson Stell been searching for his forever sound, waiting to firmly plant his roots in one specific genre? Only time will tell, but no matter where he takes this project, it will surely be fun to watch.
