Born in Cork and spending her life to date living a nomad life of sorts between Marbella, London and LA, musician Jessica Smyth — better known as Biig Piig — has lived a life. A biig life, if you will.

“ I love adventure, I love meeting strangers,” she beams through my laptop screen. “It’s in my nature to want to get to know everyone.”
