Biography
Grafhic was born Othello David Dauzat in Baton, Rouge, on July 3, 1999. The son of Monique Landry and Jason Dauzat, he is of French, Cajun, and Native American descent. Grafhic's nickname comes from an old friend of his; who described his lyrical style a "very graphic and visual. He later swapped the P out for an F to give his name a little character. In Grafhic's early years, he released many tapes under different names. None mention worthy. Or even attainable.

Grafhic first discovered his introspective style in 2015. When assumed the name he uses today. He began working on tracks which would become the "Eyes Wide Shut" EP. A Long time friend of his made guest appearances on the tracks "Sleeping and Awake" and the title track 'Eyes Wide Shut."

After the release of Eyes Wide Shut in 2016, Grafhic began working on a side project known as Kill The Architect. However, it would not accumulate until 2021. And would unfortunately disband due to creative differences.

2017 saw the development of Grafhic's style when the more gritty, raw "Graffiti" was released. This project being the beginning of Grafhic's phase of not using features on his works. To keep the integrity of telling the story or concept of each individual project.

Everything was seemingly coming together. Grafhic was getting attention from a local label. Performing all around Louisiana. And he was beginning to work on new songs for his next project which would be called "Bleach." However, one August 15, 2018. Grafhic was arrested for armed robbery. And later convicted, receiving a 7 year prison sentence.

Everything for Bleach was lost, all but the four tracks released on the 2018 "Krylon" EP released by a colleague due to Grafhic's incarceration.

Fortunately for Dauzat, he was released to a work program on October 7, 2019.

He began recording and producing music with a cell phone and a pair of headphones. In the following year, he would go onto release an entirely new version of his "Bleach" album. Along with another album entitled "Static." Thus wrapping up his boom bap trilogy beginning with "Graffiti."

2021 brought yet another style and sound change. The first entry for this style was titled "Senses." Which utilized interludes to portray moods and feelings. These interludes then separated the albums different sections.

The EP SE7EN was the second release of that year. Which touched the topic of Grafhic's multiple personality disorder. Giving each personality its own track on the EP. The first track was dedicated to Felix. In a gripping introduction. Grafhic expresses how he arrived where he is now in a short verse. Followed by a catchy chorus. Track two tells an alternate tale of how Grafhic's childhood friend was killed. Earning him his title yet again as a graphic story teller. This track was dedicated to his late friend. In which Grafhic credits his name to and his determination. Track three is from the perspective of his inner thoughts, known as Korie. Who is sometimes suicidal when reflecting on the past experiences of Grafhic. Skipping ahead, track six is the introduction of Grafhic's most common personality. Known only as Odd. Though this song is very heart-felt. And warm at times. Odd, has always been known as a violent and manipulative personality.

Next to come was the final B-Side EP, White Noise. It being the final EP from the boom bap trilogy.

Late that year saw the release of Oddyssey. This project being a concept album. Revolving around Grafhic's personality Odd himself.

For most of 2022, Grafhic has only release one project. In the form of an EP titled Oblivion. Which expanded on a trap guitar sound. Also introducing a more alternative rock sound. Grafhic was released fro prison February 16, 2023. And is said to be working on a final project titled "Headphone Music." Paying homage to his 'backbpack rap' style he has assumed over the past four and a half years.

Lyrical themes
Grafhic's lyrical style has been described in many different ways. As said before he very visual. However, there are also themes of heartache and pain. You can find these themes specifically in his intro to his "SE7EN" EP on the track "Fall (Felly)." He also utilizes his skill of story telling.

With the EP SE7EN. Came the introduction of Grafhic's other personalities. Each one having their own track on the extended play.
