“AWL (Director of Big World Breaks) is a boss. Always has been. And most likely will maintain being one. I’ve known him for over 15 years now. He’s about community. He’s about integrity. He’s about art. And the man has mastered his craft of the drums.”
“Big World Breaks is The Sh_t…amazing…phenomenal…our b-boys’ live theme music…from the culture to the culture…Seattle music’s heartbeat…my favorite drummer’s band.”

“The Big World Breaks crew is a team of stellar musicians I had the pleasure of working with to develop a live version set of what our group (Blue Scholars) typically does as a traditional rap show. They did an excellent job of adapting our instrumentals for a 9 piece band. A bulk of our material at that time was sample based and I was impressed with how well they were able to recreate the music for a live format with both soul and technical accuracy. Aaron Walker-Loud was a communicative and professional band director, and playing with the BWB fam was great experience. I felt privileged to share the stage with such accomplished musicians!”

“Big World Breaks gave me my first experience performing with a live, big band. Since then, it’s been rare to come across a band as professional and talented as them!”
“In all matters relating to Aaron Walker-Loud (director of Big World Breaks), the person, his endeavors,
his commitment to mentoring, and most of all, his vision, places value on his leadership. His contributions have earned my respect and that of the youth education community… The positive impact Aaron has had on the youth he comes in contact with is felt throughout the community. I wholeheartedly endorse Aaron Walker-Loud. He is a proven administrator and has earned confidence and respect from the community at large.”

“Being a part of Big World Breaks in my teenage years laid the foundation for exploration through sound as well as enrichment through different cultures. Taking lessons personally with Mr. Walker-Loud, as well as playing as a drummer with the BWB Drumline enhanced my overall skills as a musician and performer. I’m thankful for the service they provide to the community, along with the talent and high levels of musicality.”
