Santan Dave Biography, Age

Although there is no much information about his family, one could deduce from his spat in his “Blackbox Cypher” in 2015, that he has two older brothers who currently serve long terms in Prison and that he lives with his mother.
Dave began rapping at the age of sixteen but during his childhood, his older brothers who were involved in animation, inspired him to pursue his interest in arts but after much trial, he gave up and moved to music instead, starting up as an MC.
When it comes to Santan’s education, he studied philosophy, ethics law and music in college but concurrently made his debut in the music world on the same day when he started college. His journey into music and the rap world was incidental. Situational challenges in the family marked by the state of his brothers in different prisons caused his emotional breakdown and the only way he could cope with his feelings was to socially set himself apart from people he was surrounded by at the time.
The deeply emotional freestyle was indeed a breakthrough for Dave who saw the studio as a place where he could express himself and let everything out. It ultimately took him six years to fully pursue his music career after his hard period in life. His debut appearance was on a small platform named Street Starz and in May 2015, next was Black Box, a YouTube channel for freestyle rap.
Gradually, Dave began to see himself getting connected to the rap world, a platform where feels he could explain to people who he is and where he came from as well as his hardships. His influences include Southern hip-hop, grime as well as rapping. He also plays the piano.
Brother(s)
Messages from most of Dave’s songs indicate that he is fond of his brothers, particularly his older brother who taught him how to draw Dragonballz characters. As a dilettante, Dave tried almost everything his brothers do. He began to rap with ease because one of his brothers is a rapper and an instrumentalist.
In an interview, Dave admitted that his brothers are the most important people in his life and that is why lots of his songs are brother-centric.
