The Journey of Manifest

Written by Star Dillard

Introducing Anfernee Akeem Pollard, formerly recognized by his stage name "Big Bvng," but now better known as "Manifest." Born on May 8, 1998, in Belize City, he now calls Chicago home. Raised by a single mother in a large family, Manifest's journey into music began at 15. At 16, he recorded his first song, sparking his transformation.

"Manifest" signifies his belief in the power of turning dreams into reality, inspired by "The Secret About the Law of Attraction." His roots in music trace back to his grandfather, while Biggie Smalls fueled his rap career.

Motivated to escape poverty and introduce hip-hop to Belize, he overcame adversity, gaining stardom with a sold-out show. Supported by his family, Manifest's unique voice and passion define him.

Though he started college with a Business major, he chose music over the traditional path. Beyond music, he explores drawing and fashion. He envisions a world without poverty and values time with loved ones.

In hip-hop, Manifest is a rising star driven by a profound sense of purpose. With his unique voice and unwavering determination, he's destined for greatness.
