While normally refraining from debating on social media, Ziggy highlighted that DJing and parties are not only a ‘hobby’ but also a ‘business’ to him and many others on the island, with no indication of when the local music scene may return.

He went on to state that no matter how tiring and annoying the situation may be, it is not the time to throw parties and appealed to the public to hang on and stay safe, wrapping up his sentiments with the hashtag #saveourbusiness.
