Zigimo is an American multi-instrumentalist, producer, and recording artist from Jersey City, New Jersey, working in experimental hip-hop, underground rap, and lo-fi instrumental production.
In the Record§
A graduate of the Jersey City Arts Program at Henry Snyder High School, he trained on tuba and piano — the tuba shaping his low-end and bassline approach, and the piano serving as the harmonic basis of his songwriting.
His production centers on texture-heavy beats, distortion, and plugg-adjacent lo-fi digital styles, joining conservatory training to internet-native underground forms.
He maintains a prolific catalog of albums, mixtapes, and singles on platforms including Spotify and Bandcamp, among them the projects imo, DELTA.77, UNRELEASED PROJECTS, and COLLECTION OF INSTRUMENTALS FROM ZIGIMO (2018–2021).
His singles and EPs include “couldn't refresh,” “EYE FTM,” “network.1,” “formula,” “bandit/mindset!,” “Testing Code Z,” “SIGNAL.1,” and “banjax.”
He is a son of Jersey City DJ and producer DJ DX (Robert Van Liew), placing him in the next generation of the city's musical lineage.
