He graduated from Selwyn House School, a prestigious school in Westmount. Before producing music, he was involved in the promotion of rave parties in his native city during the early 1990s, also Tiga was 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. Since his rise to success leading into the year 2000 and beyond, Tiga has been ranked the best electro DJ worldwide by DJ ranking polls.

Tiga is widely known for his remixes: Tomas Andersson's "Washing Up", Scissor Sisters' Comfortably Numb and Soulwax's "E-Talking" but also for his covers of Nelly's "Hot in Herre", Public Enemy's "Louder than a Bomb", Felix Da Housecat's "Madame Hollywood" 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 Dählback, who had produced many of Tiga's newer remixes. Tiga is also good friends with Stephen and David Dewaele from Soulwax, who produced about half of the tracks on Tiga's debut album Sexor.

In 2007 he formed a temporary duo with Zombie Nation, under the ZZT-name, they created a trash-hit named "Lower State of Consciousness", which also featured a remix by French hipsters Justice. He made remixes for New Young Pony Club's "Ice Cream" and The Killers' "Bones". He's also working with the Dewaele-brothers on his second album, which will feature more songs in the like of "Far From Home" en "3 Weeks", and less electro-banging sounds, according to the Tiga-podcast.

It sounds like he's very lucky to have you in his life (and he in yours).

That sounds truely heartbreaking... I have two younger brothers, one of whom has autism and intellectual disabilities, and much of the threat our parents had over us to keep us from saying anything to anyone about the abuse done to us as children in our parents home was that us kids would be separated, and that our brother would be sent to live in an institution.

As much as I still struggle to not hate myself for being such a compliant secret keeper and not speaking out about what was happening at home (there were so many reasons I kept quiet, and for much of my childhood I didn't even know I should have told an adult... I knew to say no to drugs since first grade, but I didn't ever learn about what to do if your parents are hurting you etc... But I honestly did what I thought was best at the time). Hearing your bf's story, and others like it, I honestly don't know if it would have even been better if my parents had gotten caught and us removed.

I don't know how I could have lived without my brothers.

I'm so sorry he's gone through so much confusion and pain and been locked away. Once my health hopefully improves, I want to be a foster parent and take in siblings... I truely feel sick knowing that children are split from their siblings when their entire lives are torn upside down. I truely can't fathom then being locked away simply because there aren't knowledgeable willing people to open their homes, and be willing to learn how to best manage and address behavioral concerns that often occur in autism. Just reflecting on how upsetting the unpredictability of being placed in different living situations is for ANYONE, and factoring in how much of my brother's previous challenges from "autism" were very much more severe because of our unstable home life, and knowing how vital structure and routine are in helping an individual on the spectrum cope... That's such a hard thing to imagine him having to go through. I'm sorry he had such experiences.

I hope he finds greater peace and stability in his life.

Ps. I hope he knows he owes nothing to his biological mom, and only allows contact to occur if he feels it's safe (emotionally, too) for him. Learning how to set boundaries with others helped me a ton with dealing with my biological parents. Though if there weren't other factors involved (mainly, they have some legal influence in my brother's life, though luckily my brothers and I are all safely out of that house... But I would prefer to go no contact with parents, it's not really emotionally healthy for me)

Wishing you both joy and peace!

I know you've heard this a million times, but I was that girl in the 1st and 2nd drama/movement. (like movements in a symphony or sonata)
I feel very much like I've come full circle, maybe I just grew up in the last 20 mins. The pain that always refreshes was not spent sobbing for myself.
Your series has taught me that it's not all about me anymore. That pain needs to birth a star or end in a black hole.
I chose the star tonight.
Thank you.

I'm convinced now that I need to be a foster parent one day. I hope that one day I'll be able and strong enough.

MinOfForest

I don't think there's a way to know if you're strong enough for foster parenting. It's not just a matter of "can you love a child that is not your own and accept that they had a life before you that will present its own challenges". It's also social services and the courts that you need to deal with. I had a baby get an almost constant rash because her birthmom never changed her diaper during visits, and SS wants to see if the mom can parent so they won't say "There's been poop in there for two hours, maybe you should change it". I had a toddler come home from visits with bruises and bumps written off as "probably a bug bite", "oh, they fell" and the toddler started screaming when a man came near them. I had case workers give up on the case because it was "too hard to watch" and a guardian ad litem telling the court to not order reunification (the process of returning to a parent) because the birthmother was on drugs, skipping court-ordered alcohol tests, and refused to keep a job or find a place to live. The court didn't care. Where would the baby live? Birthmom didn't know. How would they afford food? Didn't know. Why'd you quit your job? I didn't like working. Why are you refusing court-ordered tests? I forgot. Can you do one right now? I don't want to. Court: Okay, send the kid to live with her. Hopefully this one doesn't get killed like their sibling.

All my kids are grown and I do wanted to have more but financially couldn't and now I physically can't unless the medbeds will be able to regrow a uterus, I will settle for adoption

I watched the first film about a year ago. We had just welcomed a 11 year old girl into our home. After watching the film and crying like a baby, I had serious doubts weather i could let go of her. A year on my wife and i changed from short term to long term fostering and she is not going anywhere. We will also be welcoming in her 7 year old sister just in time for Christmas. Getting my 1st fathers day card this year was something ill never forget.

This actually means pretty much to me, since I've been in foster care before as a child. I remember not liking them at first but I started to love them as time went by.
I still have contact with them and I'm so thankful that they took care of me when I needed parents the most.
I'm going into foster care again but this brings me secure that everything is going to get better with time. Again thank you ❤️

@Rosa Ramirez Alot of social workers in my state, city need to watch them. They may actually "feel bad" for the way these kids (some that really didnt need removed but the system here everyone is wrong but the caseworker) feel about being yanked from their home, family, all they know and tossed around from place to place dealing with all kids of mixed emotions about why all of its happening.

Now today, we're in our parenting class for adoption, and we were recommended to watch it, and the 2nd and 3rd parts.
So here I am, 7 years on, two kids of my own and bawling my eyes out because I'm reminded exactly why we're doing this.

They need to explain to the kids because it’s not the social workers fault, they’re doing their job, it’s the parents fault for even doing something that warrants losing custody. But even kids don’t see their parents flaws so I understand why you feel the way you do.

When young children are removed from a family or loved ones, it is difficult to separate them again since they have created a bond with the people who care and provide for them. As a child is moved from one foster home to another, they live with resentment, have difficulty trusting people, building relationships such as friendships and so forth. Sadly, when they are adults, many of them are damaged goods and they go on to form relationships with others and even marry and have children. This is where emotional and physical abuse originate among other psychosocial ailments, such as depression. They have difficulty adapting or find stability in their lives. They may turn to drugs or other ways to deal with their torments. We all have demons that we deal with, but some are worse than others and some people get help or learn strategies to live them and be able to live a good life. Children are the most precious gifts we have in society. We have a moral obligation to love them!

Mrs Dumas

3y↑4

I agree and if caseworkers would stop and put themselves as a child in the child's place and think how would I want these people to treat me...they might start with sitting down calmly and fully explaining to these kids the full intent and whats gonna happen or not happen next. Dont leave their little minds to worry because that just causes more problems in their life as they grow into young adults. Dcfs claim they are passionate about their job but yet they lack showing compassion to these kids.

Oh my goodness, so, so emotional! This happened to 100% of all Native Canadian children until it slowed down in the 1980s, finally stopping in 1991. The Canadian government just would NOT let Native women keep any of their children. We were all taken away, most to residential schools until the age of 16 to 18 years old, and 34,000 children like me, were just put into the foster care system until a Europen Canadian family adopted you. None of us were permitted our parents.
I went to 11 different foster homes. When you remove 100% of the children from a race of people, it overwhelms the system. Canada had nowhere to put all of the children it took away, so they were SOLD for adoption into the USA, Europe, and Australia.
I felt continuously lost, sent from home to home to home, never belonging anywhere. I had to watch the faces of the adults so I knew when to hide. So much hypervigilance was very tiring for me, so I would sometimes stare at the wall, and totally empty out my mind to give myself a break. After I was adopted at 25 months old, I remember sitting and starting to stare at the wall, ready to empty out my mind, and then I remember thinking "I am Safe here. I don't need to do this anymore!" And so I never did.

absolutely heartbreaking. I can feel Zoe and her journey! beautiful prospective. So easy it would be to dismiss a childs anger as just a disruptive child, but if instead you listened to her story, heard her, acknowledged everything she had been through, held her hand and told her you see her and that you recognize her pain not that you know what she is going through but you know its awful and its her journey but it doesnt have to continue to be horrible for tomorrow is a new day and you can hit the refresh button and choose to be a Star, and love love the foster mum for giving her love and hope even in the darkest times. you have done an amazing job of capturing the essence of a beautiful child that should of been loved, cared for and safe xxx and growing into the eventual star she became. I am in awe of the story and how you manage to capture the emotions of having your life ripped away from you, even a horrible life, when they a so young. Its such a horrible situation, children are gifts from god, they are not ours, we are all temporary carers of a little soul and heart, we have all been entrusted to nurture them, love and protect them. Some of us are just not meant for the job, does not mean they dont love the little souls they have been given, they just dont have the skills to recognize and protect what they have been given. xxx beautiful job! Well done

Every chapter to this series is absolutely life changing. I watched the first part little after turning 18 and realised how challenging life is for these kids. I am definitely thinking of becoming a foster parent in the future, and it's all because you guys introduced me to this with your short films and the stories of these kids. My heart aches. I wish I could help right now.

ReMoved is truly a work of art - as someone who was adopted at a very young age I applaud anyone who had a hand in creating it. Seeing Ms. Zoey as an art teacher at the end of 2 was the most triumphant moment of it all. <3

Right, that got me too, and how could it not? The foster dad was the negative voice throughout who routinely considered taking him in a "horrible idea" but by the time his birth mom was ready to take the kid back, the little boy meant so much to him he let him keep a family heirloom to remember them. And how perfect that it was a compass--something that helps you not get lost.

I love these so much to help show and explain the different sides and emotions between everyone. My husband and I really needed to see these. We have been slowly getting our house ready and lives ready for this decision. And I think having these videos and other material really help and make light to some misunderstandings or unknowing about these situations. Thank you so much for your time and love you all put behind the videos, the book and being amazing people!

I never knew there was a part 3. As a current foster parent and a former foster child who cycled in and out of foster care until I finally aged out at 18 I thank you for these films. I hope that they can reach a wide audience of Foster parents so that they can hopefully understand what the children placed in their homes go through. They need love and patience more than anything. There's a reason for their behaviors. It's hard to let that guard down and trust, especially if they've been moved before. It's necessary for kids to learn to protect their hearts. I'm 45 years old and still struggle with abandonment issues.

I am in college to be a teacher and I was guided to watch one of your videos to learn about trauma. However, I found myself watching more than required, taking it all in and pushing through the heartbreak to know that I may be a part of a child with trauma’s life. It is not my job to fix it, but- as said in Zoe’s story- I want to help the child survive in the tornado and realize that there are blue skies.

Blew me away. Such phenomenal storytelling. I found this because I'm shooting a commercial/short film for a Children's Home in the next few months.

Thank you for putting so much heart and effort into making this.

I don't think anyone understands how touching this series was. Although I am not a foster child, in my life I have faced abuse, as well as the loss of a parent. Watching Zoe become a teacher left me with the hope that one day I will become more than my past.

My boyfriend went through foster care at a very young age, he was separated from his other 2 brothers and can never see them again but was still able to stay with his other brother. He was adopted almost 4 years ago now and just turned 18. He has autism and his foster home parents didn’t understand that so he had been institutionalized many times. His biological mom has just recently reentered his life, it is so hard for him to look the person who hurt him most in the eyes. His story goes on and on, it breaks my heart, these videos are so meaningful because of it. Thank you

When the drug-addicted mom says "and I just knew you would love me and protect me forever" to the little baby that she is supposed to protect and take care of. What a messed up world this is!

Malaya Anderson

@keljells I have compassion in some situations, this isn’t one of them🤷‍♀️. If someone actually wants to get help, I hope they do, but drug addicts aren’t victims.
You don’t randomly catch drug addiction, it was a choice to start in the first place so miss me with the bs. Have a nice night.

keljells

@Malaya Anderson you really shouldn’t be so proud and boastful of having no compassion and no sympathy for the plight of others, it’s a really ugly, selfish and unhelpful way to go about this world.
Consider yourself blessed for not having been through enough to make you aware, but life is a long road.
Maybe it’s time to look in the mirror, bc this whole spiel and attitude ain’t it. Karma finds a way.

Malaya Anderson

@Rocky Rox yup, so no self responsibility, got it😊have a nice night.

Rocky Rox

@Malaya Anderson many that are stuck in the cycle that is the opiate epidemic did not choose to be given prescribed painkillers for months, then be take off them without a doctor explaining what withdrawal is. And when you’re in withdrawal you feel like you’re dying. And as human nature does, you will do anything possible to not die. The prescription drugs change your brain chemistry. And once you can’t get them prescribed anymore you find other ways to get it so that you are not puking, aching, cramping, sweating, hurting, crying and so on and so forth.
You may think it’s a choice. And that tells me you’ve never had addiction nor anyone very close to you go through it.
You think as many people that are going through addiction as there are in this country, wake up and say “I CHOOSE TO USE DOPE TODAY!”
No. It doesn’t work that way. You think any long term addict wakes up and says “I LOVE being an addict! Having no family, no job, no home, ruined all relationships and x amount of years living this life?” No. No one wants that.
That is why it is a disease and finally in the medical books. It literally changes your Brian chemicals into survival mode. Normal you survival mode is -I need food and water or I will die. right?
Well the drug changes your brain survival mode to - I need the drug or I will die.

Lolita Nyan

@Malaya Anderson Absolutely agree with you here. Excuses for all types of vice are just part of the same vice.

I’ve been put into foster care and I know how it feels to be removed. I got removed from school and wasn’t allowed to go to my house to get my stuff. Me and my sisters we’re so scared that we thought we were going to a prison. Now I’m 14 and been put into a different foster placement and I hope that I can be a foster carer when I retire my job.

Looking forward to this. I am a foster mom who has done this for over twenty years and your first two videos were amazing. I show them to every (college) student I teach in Social Services and their impact is so powerful. Kevi's story sounds like it will be equally important.

Montana MVK

@Abby Conner I am not a professional, I am just a parent who’s gone through many different aspects of this (childhood/adulthood) and wanted to offer my own teeny suggestion. From my perspective/opinion, I think it would be most important to have your own children first/during if possible. If not possible, then get as close as you can to others that do/their children. There’s no replacement for hands-on real life experience imho, and you are going to need a boatload of empathy for ALL involved. Maybe also a solid understanding (& hopefully experience - but not TOO close exp., lol) of the differences between personality disorders & mental illness/injuries/trauma. I personally believe pathological abuse is the main culprit of most all issues today. It leaves much trauma in its wake.
I give you solid props & kudos; this area is not an easy one (I can’t think of anything more sensitive tbh), but genuinely good, thorough professionals are direly needed (too many underworked, underpaid & haphazard ones). To me, you’re already showing you’re an excellent one for the job as you’re asking questions! 🤗💜

I love how zoey grew up into a full on adult but the CPS lady didn't age at all. Makes you wonder 😆 but removed is such a real look. It's hard to watch but it is a master peace.

I spoke with a woman that only took in girls. Adolescents on the cusp of puberty or had entered puberty.. For she found out that they are hardest to place. I did not realize that. She kept several in her home. One came from sexual abuse. The girl to sleep peacefully at night asked if she could keep a knife under her pillow. She told the foster mom that she does not have any desire to hurt the other girls. But, it was to protect herself from sexual abuse that happened in the overnight hours where she came from (I think the father or stepfather). It was the girls' 'teddy bear, security blanket'. The foster mother said she never had any major trouble from the girl. And allowed her to sleep with the knife.

The first two made me cry harder than you can imagine. The same happened with me and my brother. We were separated when we were young. I'm going to visit him in a month. I haven't seen him in something of 6 years. When Zoe said "at least take care of your baby brother, cuz you know he needs you. hes so scared all alone." It just broke my heart. I responded out loud and said to myself "I know. I know he's scared. I know he needs me. I know." Hes 11 now, and I haven't been there to hold his hand or to give him love. I live across the country and am only 16 myself and I don't know how to live knowing he's out there growing up without me. And to think I have two other siblings, 1 and 3, who just went into the system and all I thought was "oh well, the cycle goes on". I know damn well my bio mom isn't getting them back and I'm so terrified they're are going to be split up, too, and never be adopted. God my bio family is such a fucking mess and this short film reminded me I'm really not the only one.

This summer there was a boy who lived on our street he would come a play with my son from time to time.. One day he came over and I played with my son. We were going to head out for a bit. He didn’t want to go home and asked to stay the night. We were a bit confused and ask him who was home with him. He said his grandma but she left and he couldn’t get back in the house. ( This boy was 7 years old). Anyway we went to his house and sure enough he was alone. We had no contact number for his parents. We had to go to the police station as we had no idea what to do. He was very upset but I tried to reassure him that we were just trying to make sure he was safe. They found his mom and a family friend came and got him. ( she was out of town) Well a couple of weeks later his mom came and talked to me. He ended up going to an aunts house in a different city. She made it sound like it was her idea but I think he was taken out of the home. I often think of him and hope and pray he is doing well.

These films are simply fantastic in every way! I can relate to the situation of Zoey from the first story, its portrayed so well.

Just because it would be a diferent experience and all ^^ i hope to see more of these in the near future

thank you for always beautifully and tragically depicting the foster care experience. i am a foster sister to six nuggets, and these stories have been influential in how i've viewed foster care from all its perspectives. thank you for advocating for the bio parents and displaying their love for their children, too. so often do foster children gain the reputation that they are wholly unloved when it is the opposite. whether its bio parents and siblings, foster families, or both, or people entirely unrelated, they are a part of an abundance of love and healing. we are pro-reunificiation, and have two of our children who have been with us for over a year going home next week friday. little kevi's storyline of reuniting with his mother and sibling and leaving people who hold him so dearly to their hearts has given me new and valuable insight into how we will all cope next week. never stop advocating for foster children; we need more people like this production team on this earth and in this society. thank you thank you thank you.

I agree, this is the first I have seen that shows a little perspective from siblings. We had a sibling group of 4 when my daughter was 6. When they were returned unexpectedly to their birthmom, my daughter was devastated-she had bonded with them. As much as she hated the fact that they teased her sometimes, she loved them. It is important for foster parents to ensure they keep up with how their kids are doing with the variety of placements they might see. But don't underestimate your kids-they can do it!!!
