Stell was born in Lancaster, Massachusetts. When he was only 14, Stell started making hip-hop influenced beats under the name "JBeats". However, it wasn't until his girlfriend took him to Big Sur California in 2012 that he began making music under the name Big Wild. Stell said in an interview with 303 Magazine, "I never really had witnessed a landscape like that before being from Massachusetts. It made me want to do a music project where I could be adventurous, unique and big with my sound." Once under the name Big Wild, Stell began producing distinctively atmospheric, groove-oriented tracks.
In 2015, through Stell's Soundcloud, the Seattle-based electronic music duo ODESZA, had been exposed to his music and enjoyed it. ODESZA asked Stell to open for them at the San Francisco and LA stops of their tour, and Stell eventually joined them on their whole tour after he finished and released his remix of ODESZA's track "Say My Name."
In 2016, Big Wild's track "Aftergold", featuring Tove Styrke, amassed millions of plays on many networks, such as Soundcloud and Youtube, and Stell started touring with other DJs and producers including GRiZ, Tycho, Pretty Lights, and Bassnectar.
Big Wild's first EP, The Invincible EP, was released in early 2017 on ODESZA's Foreign Family Collective label, and included the single "I Just Wanna" plus features for Yuna and iDA HAWK. Big Wild released his debut album, Superdream, on February 1st, 2019 on all major platforms.
Stell set out on his own tour in spring 2017, hitting 27 dates around America.

Big Wild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The signs don't lie
There you go, trying to find a way
The sun's heat is blinding you
It hypnotizes the truth
Baby, oh, once you wade in the water
There's no trace of the other
Feel the pace racing higher
Hey
There you go, power takes over, ayo
Now you are invincible
There you go power takes over, ayo
Then you are invincible
Five moons in the desert
Miraculous site
Hear the sound one thousand different ways
The path is igniting your roots
Grow in front of you
Baby, oh, once you wade in the water
There's no trace of the other
Baby, oh, once you run in the water
Feel the pace racing higher
Hey
There you go, power takes over, ayo
Now you are invincible
There you go power takes over, ayo
Then you are invincible
Hard to breathe when fighting the sun away
All you need to know is you're on the way
There you go power takes over, ayo
Now you are invincible
The lyrics of Big Wildโs song Invincible speak of the power of nature, and how it can empower us to overcome the challenges that life throws our way. The song begins with the singer acknowledging the signs that point towards the water, and how it can be a metaphor for a life-giving force that can give us strength. The sunโs heat is blinding, but it is also hypnotizing, drawing us closer to the water.
When the singer urges us to โwade in the water,โ there is an implied idea that we need to embrace this force of nature head-on. By doing so, we can leave behind the things that used to hold us back, and we can become invincible. The imagery of โfive moons in the desertโ speaks of a miraculous sight that can be experienced when we immerse ourselves in nature. The sound of the water supports this idea, and it becomes a path that ignites our roots and helps us grow.
The song is ultimately a celebration of human resilience and the power of nature to help us overcome the obstacles that life throws our way. By immersing ourselves in nature and embracing our surroundings, we can find the strength to overcome challenges and become invincible.
