Triggah's Biography

Triggah's music is certainly eclectic. He effortlessly spans pop,
jazz, funk, hip-hop, reggae, rap, ska, house, electronica and
blues. Although a totally independent artist, Triggah has the cream
of the UK's musicians and producers queuing up to work with him.
His music is not easily pigeon-holed, yet this cheeky cockney
chappie has such wide appeal simply because his music is just
so damn good. His outstanding compositions and highly intelligent
lyrics combine with the virtuoso musicians he has on his
recordings, to create something that is very hard to dislike, and
almost impossible to dismiss.

Having had a colourful and varied career, and having tried most
things from teaching R.E. to secondary school pupils in Wales, to
working on North Sea oil rigs ("Triggah the Rigger" he says with
more than a hint of sarcasm), Triggah has found that his true
vocation is in music. Triggah had no formal music training, unlike
his father who played the violin, and at one point studied at the
Royal Academy. " My dad was a huge jazz fan, and particularly
the violin of Steffan Grappeli andYehudi Menuhin. Maybe that's
where I get my love of jazz from."

Triggah, on the surface, is not someone you'd particularly want
your daughter to bring home, however his intelligence (as well as
having a Masters degree in philosophy, he's now studying law) is
more than evident in his music, and once engaged in conversation
with him you quickly find that he is also very witty, and indeed
quite charming! Hailing from Ilford in Essex, and having lived in,
amongst other places, Hull, Wales, Liverpool, Benidorm, and
Salamanca, Triggah is certainly well travelled, but now says he is
happy to be living back in Essex.
