Raised by Caribbean parents, Giggs was a DJ in Peckham, predominantly playing reggae, ragga and Dancehall. He also had his own radio station called "Spare No One FM".
Giggs' stage name is derived from his childhood nickname of Giggler, and on some of his earliest releases he was also credited as Gig. After deciding to pursue a music career, he released numerous mixtapes including Hollowman Meets Blade which featured Blade Brown, Welcome to Boomzville, Best of Giggs 1 and 2 and 3 and Ard Bodied, which featured Dubz. His mixtapes have supposedly sold more than 10,000 units. This success helped his popularity expand outside London.
