Big Hits and First Album
Sigala's first single, "Easy Love", was made when he was feeling tired. He decided to create music just for fun. He used a singing-only version of the Jackson 5's song "ABC".
The music video for "Easy Love" was filmed in Los Angeles. It features two 12-year-old dancers from Canada, Lucky and C. They dance and challenge other young dance groups in the video. The video was directed by Craig Moore. He saw Lucky and C on The Ellen Show and thought they were perfect.
