Growing up on the Caribbean island of St. Eustatius the young Ricardo Blijden
was given the nickname Ziggi by his grandparents who raised him. In 1999 Ziggi
Recado moved to the Netherlands to study. Through the influence of friends who
were aspiring artists, Ziggi began experimenting with music around 2002. This
gradually grew into a hobby that he had a natural talent for. In 2004 Ziggi was
signed to Rock(N)Vibes entertainment which became Ziggi’s first
Label/Management. In February of 2006, Ziggi Recado released his debut album
“So Much Reasons”. With this album Ziggi gained national notoriety
in The Netherlands and managed to capture several awards such as “Best
Album”, “Best Artist” and “Best Live Act”. His
track “Blaze it” also had a major impact internationally and peaked
at the #1 position in the official German reggae charts for weeks.

In 2008 With the cooperation of VP/Greensleeves records Ziggi’s 2nd
studio album “In Transit” was released. This album which included
the hit songs “Need to tell you this” and “Gonna leave
you” received raving reviews throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
Ziggi was now drawing attention on a global level. Ziggi & The Renaissance band
toured extensively in 2009 playing well over 100 shows and solidifying his
reputation as an outstanding live act.
In 2011 Ziggis 3rd studio album, the self entitled Ziggi Recado was released by
VP records. This proved to be a very diverse album with Ziggi combining a wide
range of musical styles to create a very unique album. He also produced a large
portion of this album himself for the first time. This album contained the hit
single Mary.

‘independent’ projects. The first 2012 release, an EP entitled
‘Liberation’ was released on march 8th .

Roots sounding offering to date. It contained the hit single
