Background
Big Brain started as a group of vocal performance students who decided to form their own group. They were originally called The Man but changed it because of a conflict with an older group. Before their official debut, many people recognized their talent, calling them the next Brown Eyed Soul and comparing them to Big Mama. They built a following by busking in New York City—specifically in Times Square, Central Park, and other Manhattan spots—before holding their debut concert in South Korea. On October 22, 2015, they released their first mini-album Billionaire Sound and the digital single "Welcome." The song is an emotional ballad mixed with powerful R&B and a fresh tempo, telling the story of an honest man who wishes his ex-lover would never have a beautiful relationship with another man. The group showed an impressive work that boldly challenged youth with different genres. On May 14, 2016, they became an opening act at an Olivia Newton-John concert.
