Career

Dawe began DJing when he was eleven years old, he describes himself as more of a 'selector' with an innate ability to read a crowd, rather than a technical whiz. He said, "I live in a small town and it was hard to branch out from it. I've played every birthday party, wedding, school disco, pub and club you can imagine, for six hours a night every night of the week." He built a loyal following by releasing mixes on Soundcloud. Rather than the usual genre-specific mixes being put out, he released 30-minute mashups covering everything from house music to hip-hop, reggae, bassline and pop. He said, "It took me to the point where I was headlining massive festivals and performing sell out shows in huge clubs. I knew that wouldn't last forever, particularly with the rise of things like Spotify, so I set up a four-year plan and got into production."^[2] He began remixing other producers in his early twenties.^[1] His debut single, "Cheatin'", was released in August 2018. In May 2019, he released the single "Repeat After Me", featuring vocals from Melissa Steel. He released the single "Flowers" in October 2019, featuring vocals from Jaykae. The song peaked at number 23 on the UK Singles Chart.
