History

Big Eye was started by a group of professional artists, studio musicians and engineers in the UK. As technology improved the ability to transfer large sound files from one location to another, the Big Eye production team soon found ways to expand their roster to include members from countries all across the globe such as the U.S., Germany and elsewhere.

The Rock Heroes version

The Rock Heroes are one of the artist collectives operating under the Big Eye Music banner specializing in modern and classic rock. As of early 2013, they have released over 50 albums both digitally and physically. The group achieved their biggest success when their version of Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long” debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and then rose to No. 29 the next week. In Canada, it debuted at No. 16 on the Canadian Hot 100.
