Dutchavelli

Dutchavelli’s breakout year in 2020 established him as a significant force in British hip hop and UK drill music, propelled by the success of his single ‘Only If You Knew,’ which rapidly accumulated 20 million views within eight months of its release. This rapid ascent followed his initial foray into the music scene under the name ‘Dutch’ in 2016, marked by tracks such as ‘New Jack City’ and appearances on Rinse FM. By 2020, his position as a notable emerging talent within the drill music scene was further solidified with subsequent hits like ‘Surely’ and high-profile collaborations with acclaimed artists Stormzy and M Huncho. His career progression continued with the release of his highly anticipated mixtape, ‘Dutch from the 5th,’ on November 6, 2020.

He also released ‘808’ alongside Da Beatfreakz, DigDat, and B Young. His rapid rise in the industry did not go unnoticed, as he was included in the prestigious BBC Sound of 2021 longlist in 2020, a nomination presented by a panel of industry experts and artists recognizing future stars. With a proven track record of chart-topping singles, a BPI-certified mixtape, and critical recognition, Dutchavelli has firmly cemented his reputation as a formidable presence in the British music landscape. His distinct style and ability to deliver commercially successful and critically acclaimed music continue to make him a compelling artist within the global music scene.
