LIVE 24-SEVEN
Your music has become anthemic in clubs everywhere. What’s it like when you’re out socially and your own music comes on?
It never gets old hearing your song played on the radio… so much time and effort goes into each track, it’s always a hugely proud moment to know that people are listening and enjoying my music. I was in Tokyo for New Year when I heard Say You Do in a shop, on the other side of the world! I find it a little mind blowing each time.
To say you’ve worked with some of the biggest names in the industry would be an understatement, how does it feel having other people be the face of your music? It’s one of my favourites parts of what I do; being able to work with amazingly talented people and learn from them and their creative processes. I’m very happy they are the face of my music - I think people would get bored if it was just my face!

Do you approach them or are you approached to work with - how do these collaborations come about? It’s different every time. Sometimes it will start with a writing session which may be set up by my management or me direct - this is generally my preferred way as its more organic, and you can build the track together. But then equally, sometimes I will have a track which I love and have been working on, and just need the right person to come in and vocal it - this is what hap- pened with We Got Love, and it actually turned out great, be- cause Ella was able to come in and add her own twist and really smash the vocals!
Who is the dream collaboration? There are many so I feel like I always change my answer… But, a couple of names would be Anne-Marie or Tiesto!
And it’s not just the biggest names you’ve worked with.
You’ve performed across the world in some of the biggest festivals and venues. How mind-blowing is that? It’s honestly crazy. I have been playing to some huge crowds over the last few years and when I hear a sea of people singing my song back to me, often twice as loud… wow!
Next year you embark on a world tour. Tell us about the process of putting the tour together… A lot of work, haha. For me it’s essential that my live show is al- ways evolving and feels new and exciting to everyone, including myself. So, before the tour starts, I spend lots of time in the studio and in rehearsals trying to perfect the show and the experience.
On the tour what can we expect, will there be any special guests, what are you planning for the stage show? I’m really looking forward to showing people the next stage of the Sigala show – I want people to come and experience for themselves so trust me on this one! Doubly exciting as this is the first time that I will take my live show outside of the UK. Expect to see me jumping around behind the decks trying to contain my excitement.
What do you do during your down time when on tour? I try and explore a place as much as possible - I generally only ever have a few hours in each city before moving on but I’ll fit in what I can! Often if I really like a place, I will try to go back and explore it in down time outside of writing and touring.
After the tour, what does the future hold for Sigala, any plans set in stone yet or are you taking the organic route and taking things as they come?
My main priority for 2020 is getting out new music. I have loads of amazing music that I want everyone to hear, so that’s really going to be my focus once the craziness of my tour has subsided.
