Jiggidy, a multifaceted artist hailing from Yonkers, NY, embodies the spirit of creativity and resilience. A writer, recording artist, producer, clothing designer, and business owner, Jiggidy's journey into music began in a deeply personal way. As a kid, he witnessed the rise of DMX, who moved out of their shared project building, 35 Mulford Gardens, and handed him a cassette of his debut album months before its official release. This early encounter with DMX's raw talent planted the seed for Jiggidy's lifelong passion for music.
For Jiggidy, music is more than just a career—it's a form of therapy. He describes it as "audio/rhythmic news," capable of educating, comforting, and energizing its listeners. "Music adds so many things to the world and I enjoy being someone who adds things to music," he says. To him, crafting music is akin to painting a picture or directing a film; it's the art of creation that fuels his relentless drive to produce new material.
Jiggidy's perspective on the music industry is candid and pragmatic. He notes, "The music business is fickle. When you’re hot everyone wants to stand next to you. When you go cold, they’ll turn their back on you." This belief stems from his experiences in an environment where success can be fleeting and loyalty is scarce. "Idols will one day become your rivals. Use people as motivation but never idolize them," he advises.
From humble beginnings, Jiggidy's hobby of making music evolved into a respected craft, gaining recognition from both fans and professional rappers. His journey reflects a commitment to authenticity and artistic integrity, driven by a profound love for the art form and a keen understanding of the industry's realities.
