Big Dad The Chairman
I'm Donald Libby. Big Dad The Chairman. Lead Wolf.
I'm a Leech Lake Ojibwe hip-hop artist from Walker, Minnesota, based in Minneapolis. I make music on my phone with BandLab: six albums, 99 tracks, no studio, no label, no budget. Independent in every sense of the word.
I'm in recovery since December 2023. I'm Bear Clan. I live by the Seven Grandfather Teachings. My Indian name means the one who goes ahead to come back and show the way, and that's what I'm doing.
I'm building youth workshops that give young people a voice. I'm connecting Minnesota artists to real stages and real pay. I'm writing One Day Stronger for anyone fighting the fight I fought.
My rule is simple: not over people, for people.
Make some noise. Make a difference.
“Make Some Noise. Make a Difference.”
