Before producing music, the Montreal born DJ-producer-incipient Teutonic legend Tiga was involved in the promotion of rave parties in his native city. During the early 1990s, Tiga was also involved in the creation of world-renowned afterhours club SONA. In 1994, he opened a record store named DNA Records, and in 1998 founded his own label, Turbo Recordings. His album Sexor won the 2007 Juno Award for Dance Recording of the Year.

Tiga is widely known for his remixes: Tomas Andersson's "Washing Up", Scissor Sisters'"Comfortably Numb" and Felix da Housecat's"Madame Hollywood" but also for his covers of Nelly's "Hot in Here" and Corey Hart's "Sunglasses at Night". He produces his own material, but has also worked with Zyntherius, Richard X and Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters. He has frequently collaborated with Mateo Murphy (with whom Tiga forms the duo TGV) and Jesper Dahlbäck, who had produced many of Tiga's newer remixes. His song "3 Weeks" has received repeated airplay in night clubs. His song "You Gonna Want Me" was featured on CTV's So You Think You Can Dance Canada commercial.

As of late 2008, Tiga has continued to produce music in collaboration with Zombie Nation under the pseudonym ZZT; Two 12" releases have resulted from the collaboration. In 2009 he released his second album called Ciao!, with production from Soulwax, James Murphy, Jesper Dahlback, and Montreal native Gonzales.
