His first song as Sigala was "Easy Love". He created it one evening when he was tired but wanted to make music just for fun. He used a part of The Jackson 5's song "ABC".
A music video for "Easy Love" was filmed in Los Angeles. It featured two talented 12-year-old dancers, Lucky and C. The video showed them dancing and challenging other groups. The director, Craig Moore, chose Los Angeles because of all the amazing dancers there. He saw Lucky and C on The Ellen Show and knew they would be perfect.
