Biig Piig

Biig Piig is a queen of reinvention. At 26-years-old, she’s lived countless lives in countless cities, from her birthplace of Cork, to Marbella, London, and Los Angeles. She’s worked all kinds of unusual jobs, from dealing poker at Leicester Square’s Empire Casino to working in a draft house after a stint at “Beer School”, and babysitting for a family in Switzerland for two months. That same lawless spirit has driven Biig Piig’s musical identity, including her name. It started off as a joke – something she’d read on a pizza menu – but the more it stuck around the more it came to mirror her lifestyle: “The big pig… the big mess,” as she put it in one early interview. “But in a way, that’s the sweetest thing.”  It’s also driven the music itself, from the bilingual bars she dropped over sleek alt hip-hop instrumentals with the London-based DIY collective NiNE8, to the global mix of R&B, dance, and neo-soul
