This Irish singer and rapper may be new to the spotlight, but not the stage.

Jess 'Biig Piig' Smith has been songwriting and hitting open mics since she was 14. At 17 she hooked up with London's Nine8 Collective, after showcasing her talents during an impromptu cypher at a house party.

In their company, she nurtured her soft, seductive cadence and angelic vocals that produce a raw, unique sound. "I want my music to be conversational, so when you listen to it, it's like you're chatting with a person rather than from a different perspective", she reflects.

Her most recent release, Big Fan Of The Sesh, is one of three upcoming collections that chronicle the young artist's love-life and consequential growth.

"When heartbreak comes about, my first intuition is to go to drink, which is never a good thing: looking for love in all the wrong places... Love is such a thick high and when it drops you see the darker side of things. You never think about it in that deluded state or about the person you can become after".

Though Smith moved between Spain and London as a child, she affirms her roots in Co. Waterford, where sheÕ'l appear at All Together Now this August.

"I feel like IÕm Irish through and through, whenever I go back I feel at home. It's a place where people are constantly looking out for each other, I really want to make them proud".
