"Biig Piig" is the stage name of Irish singer and rapper Jessica Smyth.
Her music has been described as "candlelight hip hop" by one reviewer, and others have compared her to Erykah Badu. But the reality is that Jess doesn't feel ready yet to put a label on her sound, or make a bold statement about the sonic direction she is going in. She has also yet to release a debut album, with only a back-catalogue of one-off singles and a few EP's having been released since 2017.
Join Jay and Jesse for a discussion on Biig Piig's music, career and creative approaches so far.
"Roots to Grooves" is a production of SIGNL.
