A fantastic blend of dance beats and enchanting vocals, Biig Piig—real name Jessica Smyth—is an Irish singer-songwriter and rapper known for her genre-blending sound, effortlessly weaving between English and Spanish lyrics.
On Wednesday night, she took over SWX Bristol, as she toured her debut album, 11:11.
The evening kicked off with Ledbyher, a rapper who was definitely the perfect choice to open the show. With undeniable talent, and a bubbly personality, she immediately won over the crowd. From her first song, she had the audience moving to the beat, setting the perfect tone for the night ahead.
One standout aspect of the show, which I personally loved, was the presence of a DJ mixing live in-between sets. This kept the energy high, and provided a refreshing twist – compared to the more traditional approach of simply playing music over the speakers.
When Biig Piig took the stage, she instantly commanded the attention of the audience with her magnetic stage presence – moving fluidly, engaging with the audience, and bringing her unique sound to life. As the night progressed, she proved exactly why she belonged on the SWX stage. Blending hip-hop and alternative pop sounds seamlessly, she had the crowd in a trance, with her dreamy vocals and infectious beats.
Her setlist kept everyone on their toes, including me! One of the most impressive moments was her smooth, effortless transitions into Spanish—so seamless that it took me a moment to realise she had switched languages! Another highlight was during Picking Up, when she encouraged the audience to ‘dance it out’. In a bold and symbolic move, she leapt over the barricade and joined the crowd, breaking down the barrier between ‘the performer’ and ‘the audience’, in a moment of pure connection.
To conclude, Biig Piig is only going up from here. Her musicality and songwriting don’t just make her sound unique—they create an emotional resonance that lingers long after the performance.
With 11:11 still on repeat since the show, I can’t wait to see what Biig Piig does next.
