Espappi Eyes Global Breakout with ‘Wiggle N Tickle’ Momentum

Rising dancehall artiste Espappi is gaining traction with his latest single Wiggle N Tickle, a vibrant track that continues to resonate with listeners locally and abroad.

Produced by Ragz to Richez and released on March 6, the song blends playful dancehall rhythms with a modern Caribbean flair—an intentional move by the artiste to refresh and evolve traditional sounds.

“The inspiration behind it came from a mix of playful dancehall rhythms and a desire to modernise classic Caribbean sounds. So far, the reception has been really positive—listeners say it’s fresh, catchy, and uplifting,” Espappi shared.

Born Christopher Escoffery in Kingston and raised in Clarendon, Espappi’s musical journey has been shaped by both his Jamaican roots and his experiences living in the United States. This dual influence is evident in his sound, which bridges authentic dancehall energy with global appeal.

With Wiggle N Tickle already making waves, the entertainer is now focused on expanding his reach beyond the Caribbean.

“My ultimate hope is that this song breaks internationally, connecting with audiences worldwide,” he said.

Looking ahead, Espappi has ambitious plans for the remainder of the year. The artiste is currently working toward releasing a full EP while exploring different genres to showcase his versatility and attract a wider audience.

“My musical goals this year include releasing a full EP and performing for my people and the Caribbean. I’m also working on different genres of music to showcase my versatility and target broader audiences,” he added.

As momentum continues to build, Espappi is positioning himself as one of the emerging voices to watch in dancehall’s next wave.
