    Biography

    Tanzanian-born and London-based singer, songwriter and producer, Tiggs Da Author, comes bursting out of the traps in 2021 with the announcement of his stellar debut album, ‘Blame It On The Youts’ - out March 12th on Alacran Records. Recorded in the storied RAK studios with engineer Jonathan Quarmby (Lewis Capaldi, Tom Walker, Plan B), and featuring a highly charged, twelve-dose blend of Afrobeat, Afrojazz and Afrosoul splendour, ‘Blame It On The Youts’ is a bold, bright & brilliant album, packed full of hard hitting messages born from frustration, but with the aim to inspire and help make a change. This is an album that lyrically resonates in the current climate. It’s an album that has something to say. This is the Tiggs story, told via an album that further amplifies the success of the African wave of artists like Burna Boy and Naira Marley – and that also taps into neo-the new strain of classic soul exemplified by Leon Bridges and Michael Kiwanuka. Equally, though, as we might expect from the title, ‘Blame It On The Youts’ is an album in touch with the realities of life right now. “It’s a journey that starts in Tanzania, goes to New Cross, and will hopefully end up on a stage somewhere in Europe in the near future. The album captures everything.”
