It all began on Australia’s East Coast. An avid free surfer and environmental enthusiast, Ziggy picked up a guitar and started busking.
This lead to four albums;
- ‘Feels Like Home’ (2012)
- ‘Made of Water’ (2013)
- ‘Land & Sea’ (2014)
- ‘Four Feet in the Forest EP’ (2016)
His career has included multiple laps around Australia, and a self-funded and self-promoted headline European tour of 11 countries, and festival performances in France, The Netherlands, and Germany. Returning home, he embarked on the ‘Heaven Australian Tour’ in 2017 – playing his biggest shows to date. This was proven again at Bluesfest 2018.
All of this so far has been achieved completely independently with no label, no PR, and no funding. Ziggy and his family team have relied solely on social media, touring, and the power of ‘word of mouth’.
