Dave Biography

Dave made a striking entrance into the music scene. His debut album "Psychodrama" not only topped the UK charts but also bagged the Mercury Prize and Album of the Year at the 2020 Brit Awards. This success was followed by his second studio album, "We're All Alone in This Together," which also debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and broke records for the biggest opening week of an album in the UK since November 2019, further solidifying Dave's musical prowess. Along his musical journey, he released several hit singles, including "Starlight" and "Sprinter" in collaboration with Central Cee, both achieving the number one spot on the UK Singles charts.

Proving his versatility, Dave also ventured into acting, making his debut in the Netflix series "Top Boy" in 2019. He has also displayed his talent as a music producer under the pseudonym SANTAN, notably executively producing Fredo's album "Money Can't Buy Happiness." Dave's influence reaches beyond music and acting; he's also made significant contributions to fashion, marking his modeling debut at the 2023 Paris Fashion Week for Pharrell Williams' Louis Vuitton debut.

Besides his artistic endeavors, Dave is also recognized for his philanthropic efforts. Through his clothing brand Psycho, he raised almost £500,000 for conflicts in Palestine, Congo, and Sudan. Additionally, he has been recognized numerous times for his contributions to the music industry, winning several awards, including the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song, the MOBO Award for Best Newcomer Act, and Songwriter of the Year at the 67th Ivor Novello Awards. Dave's musical accomplishments and social contributions make him an influential figure in the music industry.
