Tiga, born Tiga James Sontag in Montreal, Canada, is a pioneering figure in the global electronic music scene. Emerging from Montreal's vibrant nightlife in the 1990s, Tiga became renowned for his eclectic DJ sets and genre-defying productions. His early exposure to music came through running one of Montreal’s first after-hours clubs and founding the influential record shop DNA, both of which played key roles in shaping the city’s electronic music landscape.

Tiga made his international breakthrough in 2001 with his infamous cover of Corey Hart’s “Sunglasses at Night” alongside Zyntherius, which brought him widespread acclaim and club chart success. He quickly established himself as a forward-thinking producer and remixer, lending his touch to tracks for artists such as Depeche Mode, The xx, LCD Soundsystem, and The Kills. His debut album, **Sexor** (2006), featured hits like “You Gonna Want Me” and garnered the Juno Award for Dance Recording of the Year.

Subsequent albums, **Ciao!** (2009) and **No Fantasy Required** (2016), further cemented his reputation for innovation, blending techno, electro, and pop sensibilities. Tiga’s unique musical vision is characterized by razor-sharp wit, infectious basslines, and a fearless approach to experimentation.

Beyond production, Tiga is celebrated for his charismatic DJ performances at major festivals and clubs around the globe. He is also the founder of Turbo Recordings, a label instrumental in launching the careers of artists like Gesaffelstein and Proxy. Tiga’s enduring influence is marked by a career defined by reinvention, humor, and an unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of dance music.
