DAP The Contract

Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria producer/rapper DAP was drawn to music through an entirely musical family. A classically trained pianist, he started playing the piano aged 4, and went on to attain a DipABRSM Performance Diploma on the Piano aged 17. After high school in London, UK, he attended the Berklee College of Music for two semesters majoring in Contemporary Writing & Production or Music Production & Engineering. Following the October 2014 release of his mixtape "GoodBye For Never", DAP recorded at the renowned Abbey Road Studios in London with grammy award winning "Uptown Funk" producer Mark Ronson after being selected for a competition produced by Converse. In May 2016, he graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Arts in Classics and Computer Music & Multimedia. On April 28th 2017, he released the “Two Roads EP”, and followed this later in the year with a series entitled Contract Thursdays (Pt. 1 and Pt. 2). As a first year law student at Columbia University, he released a collaborative EP "Old New Clothes" under the moniker Hi-Lo Jack with fellow collaborators Clyde Lawrence and Cody Fitzgerald, who recently scored the Disney movie “Noelle” and included a verse from DAP. During the European leg of his ”Everybody Falls” tour, DAP released singles as part of CTIII, the third installment of the Contract Thursday’s series. Now a Columbia Law School graduate and admitted attorney in NY, DAP continues to balance a legal career with his burgeoning music career.
