The group's music was aimed at young children and featured catchy tunes and colorful characters. Field played the blue Wiggle and was known for his energetic performances and playful personality. The Wiggles released their first album in 1991, which was a huge success in Australia. The group went on to release several more albums and became popular in other countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
