Wiggzaro started his production career in his bedroom, programming electronic music on his computer while studying jazz on a formal level. His passion for composing music on computers blossomed into a production career that now sees him working in high demand as both a producer and sound engineer with young and old artists and producers alike, some legendary in stature.

Wiggzaro has also has a keen interest in building studios and was responsible for the systems designs, configurations and installation of the four studios at PyramidRox Recording Suites, as well as for getting the studio business up and running.

Wiggzaro is currently working from his studio in Ladbroke Grove, London.

As a music technology lecturer, Wiggzaro spent five years lecturing electronic music, sound engineering and production and was responsible for the course design and development of educational material as well as designing and installing studios at Eastside College and then Central Johannesburg College, which consisted of fourteen DAWs (digital audio workstations) networked into a small recording studio. In this time, he grasped the essence of what the most crucial information someone interested in learning about modern music production needs to know.

As a writer Wiggzaro has been on the Music Maker writing team for a number of years and has a monthly production skills column titled “Get Your Groove on the Move”, the same title as his new book. Plans are now in progress to take this concept onto educational television and DVDs.
