Bruce Fielder (born 1 November 1992), known professionally as Sigala, is a British DJ, record producer and remixer from Norwich, Norfolk. He is best known for his 2015 debut single "Easy Love", which samples "ABC" by the Jackson 5. It debuted at number 71 on the UK Singles Chart on 4 September 2015 and jumped to number one the next week. His follow-up single, "Sweet Lovin'", reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. His next single "Say You Do", which features Imani and DJ Fresh, was released on 18 March 2016 and reached number 5 in the UK Singles Chart.
Fielder is based at Tileyard Studios in King's Cross but originally hails from Norfolk. He first got into music at age 8, when he began to play the piano, which he has up to grade 8. He attended Reepham High School and University of Westminster and has a BA honours degree in commercial music along with attending Norwich City College.
After leaving university, Fielder was a member of assorted unsigned bands before moving on to mixing and producing works for others, including co-writing "Good Times" by Ella Eyre with Sigma.
His debut single, "Easy Love", came about after Fielder drank a six-pack of Desperados, a tequila flavoured beer, in sheer tiredness and frustration after being asked to perform a thirty seventh mix for a popular artist, and downloaded an a cappella of the Jackson 5's single "ABC". In an interview with the Official Charts Company, he stated that the record was written on a Sunday evening out of a desire to create music for himself outside of the confines of "somebody asking me to create a song that had a certain sound to it or had to be a certain way".
