Tonight on The Artist Hour, we shine a spotlight on Biig Piig, the Irish-born, London-based artist whose genre-blurring mix of neo-soul, alt-pop, and lo-fi electronica has made her one of the most distinctive voices in modern music.
Born Jessica Smyth in Cork and raised between Spain and London, Biig Piig first broke through as part of the Nine8 Collective, a creative community of artists who fused rap, R&B, and experimental pop. Her early tracks, like Perdida and Vice City, revealed a bilingual artist equally at home rapping in Spanish or crooning in English over hazy, jazz-infused beats.
With her 2023 mixtape Bubblegum, Biig Piig pushed her sound into new territory, sharper, bolder, and more dance-driven. Tracks like Kerosene and This Is What They Meant showcase her ability to move from intimate confession to euphoric release, blending vulnerability with confidence and rhythm.
Across tonight’s hour, we’ll explore the evolution of Biig Piig’s sound, from the bedroom soul of her early EPs to the sleek production and emotional punch of her recent releases. Expect rich textures, hypnotic beats, and that unmistakable voice that turns even the quietest moments into something magnetic.
The Artist Hour – Biig Piig. Tonight at 8 PM on Today Radio.
