Dave: International Showcase Fund (SXSW)
At only 18 years of age, Streatham, South London based rapper Dave (aka Santan Dave) is already leaving a lasting mark on the UK rap scene and beyond after the independent release of his debut ‘Six Paths’ EP in September 2016, which saw him debut at #6 on the iTunes album chart  on the Hip-Hop chart. Created with production partner 169 alongside Grammy Award winning producer Fraser T Smith (Adele, Cee Lo, Sam Smith, Stormzy), the six track EP perfectly showcases the intelligent wordplay and social commentary that Dave has become synonymous for. The palpable sense of excitement around the young rapper has seen his debut UK headline tour sell out within 30 minutes of going on sale, not to mention earn him famous fans from Stormzy to Drake, with the Canadian artist recently remixing Dave’s track ‘Wanna Know’.
