Biography

    • A star in multiple fields, Streatham born David Orobosa Omoregie, known professionally as 'Santan Dave' or just 'Dave' the musician has cultivated a strong following and his star has since gone supernova. After a viral Glastonbury appearance, the rapper secured a spot on the Channel 4 turned Netflix show Top Boy (2011) as villain: Modie, delivering a truly unnerving, borderline psychotic performance. With his career truly flying, Dave dropped his debut album 'Psychodrama', a narrative/concept piece that eventually won a BRIT Award for best album. In his BRIT awards performance of 'Black', Dave stunned, like in his older song Dave: Question Time (2017), he took his chance and fired at the British establishment, social injustice and paid tribute to his late friend Jack Merritt. His stunning, charged performance catapulted him firmly into the A List. Regardless of his next move, Dave's career trajectory is only upwards.
