Every week, we’re going to be introducing you to a brand new artist we’re going mad for here at NME Towers via our ego-busting new Q&A, What’s Your Band Called, Mate? This week, Biig Piig spirits taking over her brain and why her beloved mic Wendy might be out of a job soon.
We are…
Biig Piig

“Cotton, apparently”
Are you any good (honestly)?
“I like it tbh, but I haven’t a clue.”
What’s your best song?
“‘Perdida’, I reckon.”
What’s been your most memorable gig?
“Village Underground in London last year.”
Tell us something really interesting about you, that isn’t to do with music.

“My mic’s called Wendy.”

Scenario: We’ve given you a shit load of money to make a big budget video – what do you do

Fill in the blanks: When you listen to our music, it feels like something is groovin‘ your ears.
