D. Phoenix - Artist facts

Self titled and proclaimed punk; D. Phoenix  blends the sound of underground hip hop and rockstar aesthetic into a new wave of music. Coming out of New Zealand and ready to rise to the top with his brothers, Phoenix is deeply imbedded in the scene and culture of 2021 HipHop. Growing up on an island with little to no musical impact it’s only right that he applies all his energy into his music and to exceed expectations with every release.

D. Phoenix was born Daniel Wilson in London, United Kingdom but soon relocated to New Zealand after his 9th birthday. He grew up loving music and aspired to be an artist. When he was asked to freestyle his flow was unmatched and different from what was perceived as normal flow. His demon-like melodic rapping would see him at the forefront of free styling at parties and hangouts. He still continues to free style on beats with what he calls a “1 Take” and then goes other verses he doesn’t feel.

His first debut single “Anti-Social” produced solely by Phoenix and his long time friend Ivan.SRT is a non-studio recording without mastering. When more knowledge and experience is gained it’s unknown what opportunities may rise for him.
