CE L EBRIT Y INTERVI EW S IGALA
LIVE 24-SEVEN “ 14
Not even thirty years old and already you’ve achieved such incredible success, tell us about the journey so far, has it been what you’d expected? What are some of the ups and downs? Nothing about it is expected! Music has always been such an integral part of my life and I worked hard on many different projects before landing on Sigala. Luckily I have a great team around me who are amazing and help make the Sigala vision possible.

Did that in turn lead to you wanting to explore other instruments or ways of making music? Definitely! The piano is where it all started for me.
When did you first discover dance music and when was the moment you decided to try your hand at it? I actually can’t pinpoint exactly when I discovered dance music, but I was involved in a lot of bands in my teens and would record us onto my computer and then edit the tracks. The whole production and song-writing thing naturally evolved from there really.
Were there any particular producers or DJs that you took inspiration from? There have been so many bands, producers, DJ’s and people that have inspired me over the years, but this changes massively across time. I guess I get inspired by things that are happening at that moment.
Please start at the beginning and tell us how the name came about… It’s actually an old family name, my mum was telling me about my great, great grandfather, and he was called Amos Sigala - I just thought it sounded cool!
As a child you learned the piano, was that something that was thrust upon you by your parents or was it something you wanted to do, and how significant do you feel that was to how your career has turned out? My parents introduced me to the piano at the age of 8 and I think they were happy to see how much I loved it - and how quiet it kept me! But I do love the piano, and to this day, most of my songs still include it – I usually start off on the piano as an acoustic song and then go from there. When you’re on the piano, I think it helps to write a better song because you’re not tricked by all the production. It’s just the piano and a vocal and if you can make something sound great on the piano, it should translate when it’s finished. So, it’s certainly a huge factor in what I’m doing now.
