Santan Dave | Before They Were Famous | Troubled Life of David Omoregie Ft. @RIDE Music

Santan Dave, who often goes by just DAVE, has had a monumental rise to UK superstardom over the past few years thanks in large part to his critically and commercially successful music that has seen him not only earn the Hyundai Mercury Prize in 2019 but deliver legendary performance at the BRIT Awards in 2020 as well. Today, Dave is only 23-years old, and he started this journey back when he was 16 and still reeling from a high-profile criminal trial that would send his older brother Christopher out of his life and into prison to serve a life sentence. This tragic occurrence would be a contributing factor in motivating Dave to accomplish something truly spectacular. So, how did Santan Dave not only right his family-ship, but turn himself into a poet with the microphone -- basically becoming the UK’s answer to Tupac Shakur in the process? Stay tuned to our newest episode of Before They Were Famous to find out!
