Welcome to BuzzMusic, Zigg Theartist. We love the sounds you offer up in your latest album, “Toxic.” What inspired the overall concept and title of the album?

My previous relationships inspired the album and the title. In life we go through ups and downs with love this is what formed the album.

What was it like working with your team in order to bring this idea to life? With 16 songs being featured on the project, how long did it take for this body of work to be ready for the public?

The crazy thing is, I produced and recorded and made every beat on this album .. during the quarantine I set up a studio in my home and haven’t let up since. I dropped a previous album in August 2020 and released this album this year in March. So, in between that time is when I worked on and put this album together... no days off.

As a creative, we’re certain the process varies for you as well as other artists. Could you please share a glimpse of what the creative process looked like when bringing forth the remarkable “Toxic?"

Believe it or not, I was going through a breakup while recording the album. So that process and those days helped form the vision of the album, it was like I was living my truths in each song as time went on.

Do you have any stand-out songs that personally resonate with you more than others at this moment? What’s your reasoning?

Hit my line stands out the most to me and it’s my favorite song on the album. Everything about the song from the beat, the flow, the vibe, and the lyrics .. made it an easy smash!

How have you found yourself growing as an artist through the entire process of “Toxic?"

Yes of course! I felt like this album I was able to become vulnerable and live my truths and for the first time as an artist I got to paint the exact picture that was going through my head.
