Dave

David Orobosa Michael Omoregie (born 5 June 1998), known professionally as Dave or Santan Dave, is a British rapper and actor. He is known for his socially conscious lyricism and wordplay. Dave released his debut extended play Six Paths in 2016, after the release of several successful singles including the grime song "Thiago Silva" (with AJ Tracey). That same year, Canadian rapper Drake premiered a remix of Dave's song "Wanna Know" on the former's OVO Sound Radio. Dave released his second EP Game Over in 2017. In 2018, his political song "Question Time", which directed criticism towards the British Government, won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song. Released that same year, his single "Funky Friday" (featuring Fredo), became his first number-one song on the UK Singles Chart and received triple platinum certification by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Dave's debut studio album, Psychodrama (2019), was met with widespread critical acclaim and debuted atop the UK Albums Chart, having the biggest first-week streams for a UK rap album thus far. It won the Mercury Prize, as well as Album of the Year at the 2020 Brit Awards. He made his acting debut in the third season of the Netflix series Top Boy, which premiered in September 2019. His second album, We're All Alone in This Together (2021), was met with continued critical success and became his second UK number-one album. His 2022 single, "Starlight", became his second song to peak the UK singles chart, and first to do so as a solo artist. His 2023 single, "Sprinter" (with Central Cee), was his third and longest-running number-one song and served as lead single for their collaborative EP, Split Decision (2023).
