Wesley Walker – Entrepreneur, Visionary, and Cultural Curator

Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Wesley Walker is a bold and purpose-driven entrepreneur with a mindset shaped by perseverance, ambition, and culture. From an early age, Wesley showed signs of hustle. In middle school, he began downloading music, burning mixtapes, and selling them at school for three to five dollars a CD. That side hustle sparked a deeper love for music and business, laying the foundation for a journey rooted in creativity, resourcefulness, and leadership.

Growing up surrounded by sports and inspired by his father, Hardy Walker, a former University of Alabama football standout, Wesley developed a strong sense of discipline, confidence, and competitive drive. After graduating from Shades Valley High School, he attended the University of Alabama, where he double-majored in Management Information Systems and Marketing and earned a minor in Computing Technologies and Applications. Although he initially pursued football, injuries shifted his focus toward entrepreneurship and creative strategy.

After college, Wesley began his professional career in technical sales at Tech Data, one of the world’s largest technology distributors. That corporate experience sharpened his skills in communication, problem solving, and client management, but also confirmed that his true purpose was building something of his own.

That clarity led him to co-found Riche Posse with longtime friend DJ Acoff. What began as a college promotion crew quickly evolved into a lifestyle brand and independent record label, combining music, nightlife, fashion, and cultural influence. It became the first major step in a business journey that would stretch far beyond music alone.

Wesley’s path has taken him through Tampa, Miami, Las Vegas, and now Atlanta, where he continues to build on his experiences and expand his reach. Over the years, he has worn many hats—artist manager, creative director, sports handicapper, social media strategist, rideshare driver, and custom hat designer. Each role has added value, teaching him how to move in multiple spaces while staying rooted in authenticity and vision.

Now pursuing his master’s degree in Entertainment Business at Full Sail University, Wesley is focused on launching a full-service company that connects music, sports, and fashion under one strategic umbrella. His mission is to help creators protect their value, elevate their platforms, and move with intention in industries that are often driven by trends and short-term thinking.

Wesley Walker, also known as RP Big Wes, is more than a creative or entrepreneur—he is a system builder. Whether he is mapping out a release strategy, developing a brand campaign, or mentoring the next wave of talent, he brings real world experience, fearless energy, and a long-term mindset to everything he does. From middle school mixtapes to executive-level strategy, his journey proves that hustle, when paired with vision, can shape legacy.
