TRIIGA ACE is a young innovative and ambitious
artist who began his music career in 2006. TRIIGA started his career as a backing
vocalist for famous Zambian artist ‘SISTER D’ however he wasn’t given the
opportunity to perform with them on major platforms.
The young talented artist has thrived in his musical
career with a vigorous approach. TRIIGA
dedicated himself to developing his musical style in rap to become a talented
artist. He has invested in his time to develop his craft and his music has
matured significantly through his innovative approach to produce high quality
content for his audience.
The young artist told ‘CHEZA’ during an interview
that he wants his listeners to get the best content from his music that uses an
artistic melody to educate, entertain and inform his fans through music. Since
2006 he has been recording in home studios.
To step up his game in the Zambian Music industry he
worked as vocalist for Cactus Agony in 2010. However, he wasn’t given the
opportunity to perform with Cactus on major platforms such as backing the
artist on stage because they felt it wasn’t the right time for him to actively
kick off his music career.
However, 2013 was a game changer for TRIIGA ACE when
he was signed by the famous record label owned by SKILLS called ‘PHAT JAM records’ in 2013. The talented artist then worked with SKILLS and MR NYOPOLE on
some music productions.
‘I never released music until 2014 when I started
pushing some other files. I started going to other studios to record with other
artists to perfect my music,’ TRIIGA said.
In 2016 my craft became perfect and I started recording on major songs with artists such as WILLS, DRIFTA TREK and BOBBY EAST.
Even after recording songs with the well established
artists, TRIIGA still felt he had to improve his music. In 2017 he released his
first song called ‘PLACES’ that featured SCOTT and JEDI produced by ‘REVERB’
because he felt it was the right time and the right feel for the people.
In 2018, he realized a song with the famous Zambian recording
artist DRIFTA TREK called ‘BOUNCE’ which was produced by ‘STASH ON THE BEAT.’
TRIIGA then used digital platforms and media channels to brand himself and
advertise his music.
In 2019, he realized his third song called ‘BIG BUM’ that featured DRIFTA TREK and CLUSHA which was produced by DRE ZAMBIA and WILLS. The song has received good feedback from his fans after listening to the song.
‘I have three songs that I have published that are
on major media platforms and I am yet to produce more music,’ TRIIGA disclosed
to CHEZA.
‘My inspiration came from a friend that I used to produce
music with in Grade 10. He thought I would succeed because when I put my voice
on the mic it really sounded dope, it was something that people were looking up
to but then my friend snapped and stopped concentrating on my music. He
imparted me with the motivation to produce because he told me I was talented in
music and he is my inspiration to my music career,’ TRIIGA told CHEZA.
‘I love music because it has shown me what I never
saw in the past because I couldn’t reach certain people and couldn’t make money
but music has opened doors for me that are leading to success. With that to say,
I am an artist and at the end of the day it is actually productivity and it
puts food on the table,’ TRIIGA said.
‘What really influences my music is the fact that I
listen to different artists, people, content and underground artist to perfect
my craft. I get my content from different things that inspire me such as
documentaries of LIL WAYNE, SNOOP DOG and TUPAC as well as many others. I
absorb that content and make it into a dope sound,’ he said.
I see myself as a well-established artist who
doesn’t have to introduce themselves when it comes to public issues such as
media and I feel I will be a big artist one year from now, TRIIGA told CHEZA.
