Shigga shay
With a body of work encapsulating explorations of self, ShiGGa Shay is widely recognized as the forerunner of Singapore’s music industry. ShiGGa Shay whose name is an onomatopoeic play on the Chinese words, “是个谁” from “你是个谁,” which translates to mean "who is it" or “who are you” is backed by a long string of achievements: being named the "Unsigned Talent of The Week" by WorldStarHipHop; multiple singles ranking #1 on the iTunes Singapore Charts. He was also invited to perform at the White House Afterparty for the State Dinner in Washington DC. Championed for bringing Hip-Hop in Singapore to the fore, ShiGGa Shay has found commercial success internationally on several occasions. ‘DOMO’ was a track released in collaboration with famed Korean Trap Producer Junior Chef, SonaOne of Malaysia and Japan’s JP The Wavy. Drawing heavily on Asian influence and a wide range of sounds, it was a track that conveyed a global ambition. An ambition matched with his collaboration with Korean-American Rapper Jay Park - ‘uRight’. The track was launched alongside ShiGGa Shay’s first collaboration with Hugo Boss - a curated capsule which was made available in Singapore. No stranger to the stage, ShiGGa Shay has opened for Hip Hop legends Wu Tang Clan. He has also shared the stage with pop culture provocateur Jaden Smith, when the latter came to Asia as part of his World Tour. ShiGGa Shay’s influence in local culture can be attested by his constant presence on multiple stages and festivals.
