10 Iconic Tiga Moments
We celebrate one of dance music's most colourful characters
His inimitable humour
Perhaps one of Tiga’s most defining qualities is his profoundly quick wit and intelligent humor. Blink too fast and you might miss the depth and ingenuity of it all.
Fans first caught wind of Tiga the comedian in the pseudo-serious interviews Ciao! Means Forever that coincided with the release of his 2008 album. Lit dramatically with the artist and interviewer Michael Lesliejack sitting across each other amidst an all black background, Tiga poses as an egotistical, self-proclaimed icon brilliantly taking a stab at the conceited nature of the modern artist.
In 2016, Tiga fed his fans the self-directed mockumentary No Fantasy Required, a once again genius promotional strategy for his releasing album. Lesliejack returned nearly 20 years later to follow Sontag across the three-part series. The producer’s trademark straight-faced delivery is the perfect execution for his over-the-top, under-the-surface commentary on all too serious artist egos.
