Jiggzz
The Toby Gribben Show Highlights - A podcast by Shout Radio
Jiggzz, born and raised in a world surrounded by the melody of his uncle's guitar, discovered his passion for music at the tender age of 5. Growing up in an environment filled with instruments and musical equipment, he found solace and inspiration in the art that would shape his life. His uncle Bobby, a self-taught guitar virtuoso, unknowingly sparked a flame that would eventually transform Jiggzz into a powerful force in the music industry.By the age of 9-10, Jiggzz began penning his compositions, initially more akin to poetry than structured songs. His writing served as an outlet to express the turbulent emotions and challenges he faced during a troubled childhood marked by encounters with law enforcement, leading him to juvenile detention and later, adult incarceration. The loss of his first daughter, Brooklyn, at birth intensified his struggles, pushing him into a deep depression where he sought refuge in heavy drinking and prescription pill abuse.In the darkest moments of his life, music emerged as Jiggzz's saving grace. It became a positive outlet that not only helped him navigate the depths of despair but also prevented him from succumbing to the urge to end it all. The transformative power of music compelled him to view his art as something greater than himself, an obligation to extend the lifeline that had rescued him to others in need.Jiggzz's artistic journey took a significant turn as he transitioned from writing to adding his words to instrumentals. Initially grappling with the challenge of finding his rhythm, he persisted, honing his craft until he could seamlessly rap and sing on the beat. Undeterred by early scepticism from others, he remained steadfast in his belief that his music had the potential to make a profound impact. As his skills developed, Jiggzz began to share his creations with the world, gradually amassing a dedicated fan base that extended beyond his local community to embrace his entire state.Over the years, Jiggzz's dedication and talent have propelled him into the spotlight, providing opportunities to collaborate with industry celebrities and fellow music artists he once admired from afar. His unwavering commitment to his craft and the belief that music is a force for positive change have solidified Jiggzz's place as a rising star in the music scene. Through his art, he continues to inspire and uplift others, proving that music has the power to transform lives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
