DAP The Contract

Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, DAP is a producer/rapper/singer and classically trained pianist, who started playing the piano aged 4. He released his mixtape GoodBye For Never in October 2014, which The Source magazine labelled “the best mixtape of 2014”, and in September 2015 was invited to the renowned Abbey Road Studios in London for recording sessions with Grammy award winning "Uptown Funk" producer Mark Ronson after being selected for a competition produced by Converse. DAP has released 9 solo self-produced projects, including the album and accompanying short film “EVERYBODY FALLS IN THE SUMMER”, and collaborative EP "Old New Clothes" under the moniker Hi-Lo Jack with fellow collaborators Clyde Lawrence and Cody Fitzgerald, who both scored the Disney movie “Noelle” and included a verse from DAP. DAP has opened for Skepta, Burna Boy, Rema, Lawrence (the band), Show Dem Camp and The Cavemen, and performed at shows and festivals across continents, most notably in Lagos, London, and New York at venues in each such as Muri Okunola Park, The Saatchi Gallery, and SOB’s.
