Jessica Smyth, known by the stage name Biig Piig, is an Irish singer and rapper, based in West London. She performs in English and Spanish and is signed to RCA Records. Smyth was born in Cork, Ireland. She lived in Spain from the age of four to twelve, after her family had moved on advice that the climate would be better for her brother's asthma. Upon moving with her family back to Ireland, she was at first able to read and write only in Spanish and had to reintegrate into Irish culture. She moved with her family to West London at the age of 14 where she worked as a late-night poker dealer, and where her parents continue to run a pub. While taking a music technology class at Richmond College, Biig Piig met Lava La Rue, the founder and creative director of NiNE8, a collective of like-minded young DIY musical artists. Biig Piig subsequently joined NiNE8, and during this period, performed at Soho open mics, finding a new voice at a freestyling session in 2015. It was at this freestyling session that she met Mac Wetha, with whom she began writing and who became a major producer for her. The single "Fun" was released on 14 June 2022. Biig Piig features on the single "Rainbow Tables" by Bien Et Toi, released in August 2022. In September, she issued the single "Kerosene", co-written with Zach Nahome and Maverick Sabre. The track would feature on her mixtape Bubblegum, released on 20 January 2023.
