5 Foot Giant consists of twin brothers, 5 Foot Giant and Defective Monk.
Defective Monk has been the ultimate solo artist – singing, songwriting, music artist/musician, sound engineer, and producer.
5 Foot Giant has been a musician and music artist for a number of years.
Both of these accomplished artists joined together to do a music project together, based off of “old school” thrash metal.
And that project is… 5 FOOT GIANT because they sound bigger and taller than their actual stature.
