Singer. She was the daughter of the late Motown Saxman Junior Walker and Gloria Adams. "Big Cynthia" had the Blues running through her veins. At the age of 16, she landed a gig with one of Houston's local bands. Back then, the pay wasn't much but, it wasn't the money she was concerned with. It was the love for pleasing the crowd and that she did very well. From that point, She was chosen to become an opening act until 1996 when she was signed to Avanti Records by CEO Johnny Vincent and in 1997 her first CD was released nationally under the name Cynthia Walker, "Baby I'm The Real Thing" in 1998. She then joined the pet label of Mel Waiters. Brittney Records, and traveled all over the country with Waiters. This was a big break for her. Between traveling and recording, Sheand Mel put their heads together and recorded a song that was written by her entitled, "Ain't Nothing Like A Big Woman". This song was written for all the big women all around the world. Being a big woman, knows what it feels like and wrote this song to uplift big women. This song was already a hit, which was released in February 2002 on the LP "Ain't Nothing Like A Real Woman". (A new and improved remix and extended version appears on this new CD "It's My Time" in 2012). Big Cynthia's next CD was released April 2004 entitled "You Didnt Take My Man, You Took My Problem", which repeated several songs off her previous album. Her next big break came courtesy of a call from Tony Mercedes of Tony Mercedes Records who produced her CD entitled "Doing It Big", which was distributed by Malaco Records. The album spawned two popular songs, "If You Want To Get It" featuring Mr. David and the cheeky "Eating Ain't Cheating". Tony Mercedes' TM Records went on an extended hiatus so her next released was executive produced by Donald Hearon, a performer and radio personality hailing from Las Vegas, NV. The CD, "Don't Hate", boasted another chitlin' circuit hit with the clever "I Didn't Lie, I Just Didn't Tell It All" in 2008. Now, after a four year recording break, Big Cynthia has formed on her own label, Big Cynthia Enterprises Records (distributed by CDS Records). She enlisted the talents of up and coming Southern Soul singer Tyree Neal (brother of the late Jackie Neal and famous Blues singer Kenny Neal) as co-producer for "It's My Time". Neal also duets with Cynthia on "Ain't Nothin' Like A Big Woman (Remix)" & "Big Leg Woman".
