Sigala, whose real name is Bruce Fielder, is known having worked with the likes of Paloma Faith, John Newman and DJ Fresh - but he has revealed in a recent interview where his moniker, Sigala, comes from and that it is actually a family name!

"It was like an old family name, my great-great-grandfather...it was his last name," the DJ explained. "My mum told me about him, and his name was Amos Sigala, and I was like 'that's a cool name', so I just kind of remembered it."

Sigala then went on to talk about the musical instruments he can play, admitting he'll "pick up a guitar every now and then," going on to explain how he can just play one note and then move it around on a computer!

He also revealed that there was a large group of people involved with his hit song, 'Lullaby' featuring Paloma Faith, including Jess Glynne! The upbeat track was accompanied by a music video which shows Paloma belting out her vocals, whilst sitting on a very fancy-looking bed and a number of talented dancers perform in a sunny looking beach location.

Sigala is a 25-year-old British DJ, and burst onto the scene in 2015 with his single ‘Easy Love’ which features a sample from ‘ABC’ by the Jackson 5. Last month, he dropped his brand new song 'Feels Like Home', featuring Fuse ODG, Sean Paul and Kent Jones.

The new song has a brilliant tropical vibe with hints of Jamaican dancehall. Sigala described the song as an "amazing mix of cultures with Sean Paul from Jamaica, Fuse ODG from Ghana and Kent Jones from America."
