First the Big Bang has to Bang something that existed, usually called singularity.

Ok.

Second if something existed, it existed prior to the Big Bang

Not necessarily. Some of the implications of quantum mechanics, especially in a multi-dimensional space, is that matter and energy can be created out of essentially nothing. And there is no reason to suspect there was only one universe created.

and the question of "how so" and was something going on be for singularity cannot be answered using Big Bang as a theory of origin.

Technically speaking, the Big Bang theory, or one of its variants, cannot be a theory of origin. Because it starts with a singularity. Do you know what that means? It is called a "singularity" because it is impossible to know what was there before. If anything. All information has been wiped clean. Including the fundamental constants.
