Before his journey into music young David has always had it in for sound, he played the tenor drum in high school, but this was a challenge because he never learnt how to play a full set, still on the musical journey David joined his church Teen choir in his early pre-teens, he was the only kid drafted for the teen choir of his church. In 2014 David was admitted into Babcock University to pursue a degree in Computing and engineering Science, this was when he got familiar with the music production software “Fruity Loops”. In 2019 Dre drops his single “Poison” this had everyone wondering, reacting towards the switch up in genre of his sound, David later explained in an interview how he is an artist, and artist make whatever they fell they should, that same year within a period of two weeks, he releases his first EP and titled it ALTERNATIVE VIEWS, this project received a lot of hails, as Dre had all the hands on beat production and mixing, the project contained four songs with an intro track.

Dres sound is new school, mixed with a touch of trap, Hip-Hop, blues, Afro and rock; he describes that growing up he was influenced by Foreign sounds and fell deeply in love with different genres. In an Instagram live chat he describes how he found his sound “When I was very young I used to listento lil Wayne, that n**a had a vibe the world didn’t, he just sounded different, I love Sia, Lorde, Aurora; this women touched a part of my heart and sometimes while I am working on a project and I notice being under the charm, but I just go with it” he laughs, he also describes the way he feels about the topic of him sounding like Travis Scott ”Everybody is gonna sound like someone if you listen close enough and that’s fine, we all are inspired by something or someone, so it is only natural if you have a sign of them in you, I love Travis Scott and he is a big idol for me, when I started making my beats, I always had this travis Scott connection, vibe, and I love it”.
