Born Robert Choy, Big Phony is a singer/songwriter born and raised in New York City. His latest release “Straight to Bootleg, Volume 01″ is a collection of songs mainly recorded in bedrooms, livingrooms and kitchens of friends and family that would have him in the past couple of years. Off stage Big Phony is simply known to those friends and family as “Bobby.”

Bobby’s family relocated to Los Angeles when he was only 14, leaving him in New York City so he could attend the legendary School of Performing Arts and Music and Art, which has produced a long list of celebrity including Al Pacino, Adrian Brody, and Bela Fleck. Living alone at such an early age, Big Phony devoted his time to writing in his New York City apartment.

With strong religious conviction, Big Phony left for Boston to attend a Christian college to study to be a pastor. He quickly realized that this was not the life for him and returned his focus to his music. After college, he moved to Los Angeles to be closer with his family. It was in Los Angeles where Big Phony began his pursuit to be a singer-songwriter. He quickly built a devout fan base with his songs and performances. He then returned to New York City early 2006 to build that same kind of following. He currently splits his time between both cities crashing on couches and aerobeds.
