Peter "Ram” Wiggins is a household name not only in Barbados but also throughout the Caribbean and internationally. His career started in the mid-eighties as a DJ, playing at street jams and parties with his cousin the “Chihuahua Business Man” (Lil Rick). Inspired by the Barbadian music industry he began penning lyrics. The ease of which led to the next logical step, taking the mic. From that first song the Barbadian music industry took heed and witnessed the birth of a phenomenon.

Known as Mr. Freestyle in Barbados, Peter Ram is no stranger to the stage. In 2001, his tune “Rats” placed him in the finals for the Barbados 2001 Party Monarch competition. His quick wit and ease with lyrics helped him to write many a tune for several artistes including hits such as “Top Class Bubbla”, “Get Ready to Wine”, “Do As Ya Want”, “Confidence” and “Fireworks” for Soca Queen Alison Hinds.

For Crop Over 2003, Peter Ram released the huge hit “The Pledge” or “Blue, Yellow and Black” as it is affectionately known, which won him the Best Nation Building song. This catchy song dedicated to the people of his homeland, Barbados, was so popular that whenever “Ram” took to the stage to perform it, the audience would sing every lyric, particularly the island’s youngest inhabitants, the children. The song was a tremendous success and lead to participation in two of the island’s most highly contested Crop Over competitions, Pic-O-De-Crop and Party Monarch Finals.

Ram has shared the stage with the likes of Beenie Man, Merciless and Elephant Man. At the Digicel launch on Barbados, he appeared with Lil Rick and international reggae sensations Shaggy and Bounty Killer and is a guaranteed opening act for most reggae shows on the island.
Ram expanded his career in 2005 and turned to acting when he appeared in his first feature film “Tek Dem Out”. He has also been the face and voice behind Total Sport, a sports brand retail outlet in Barbados for the past 3 years.

In July 2006, he released “Woman by My Side” which has caused him to travel extensively across the Caribbean region to neighbouring territories such as Trinidad, Antigua, Tortola, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada and Carriacou. This track was remixed for Trinidad Carnival 2007, featuring 2006 Power Soca Monarch King, Shurwayne Winchester of the band Traffik, who is also one of the top soca artistes in that country.

The resounding success of this track has commanded much attention in the international market, as it continues in 2009 receive excellent reviews on the music charts and consistent airplay.

As a result of the success of the song, Peter Ram shot the music video to the single in Barbados by Roland “Remy” Yearwood of Trinidad and Tobago. The video has been added to VH1 Soul’s Island Soul programming and was scheduled initially to receive three (3) spins per week and subsequently will be added to their catalogue. It was also added to Music Choice TV, a video on demand channel. The video has landed Peter Ram the no. 3 position on MTVN TEMPO’s Cross Caribbean Countdown; the only dedicated network to Caribbean music and culture.

Singing to a capacity crowd of over 10,000 Peter Ram appeared alongside other headline acts such as international recording artistes Shaggy, Maxi Priest and Tessanne Chin.

Peter Ram released three new tracks for Crop Over 2007; “Pumpin”; which was produced by Darron Grant of Underground Studios, “Smoke Signal” produced by the Red Boyz and “Snakes”, all of which continue to receive steady rotation on the local and international airwaves. Crop Over 2007 was another great year for this artiste, who continued to show consistency by earning a position in the Party Monarch Finals and performed at all the major Crop Over events.

He went on to rank in the top international soca arena, with the “Woman by My Side” remix - judged ‘Best Soca Collaboration’ at the prestigious 5th Annual International Soca Awards, in Queens, New York.

Peter Ram then went on to remix his popular Crop Over track “Pumpin” featuring Jamaican reggae star Aidonia. This was even more of a hit for the artist and simply whet his appetite, enticing him to return to Barbados’ 2008 Crop Over season with the mega hit “Tight”, “Carnival Praise” and “African Song”. These were well received and resulted in him being one of the most popular artists for the season. This popularity crossed borders and Peter went on to take Trinidad by storm for their 2009 Carnival season.
