PRESIDENT DAVO IS A 27-YEAR OLD, VERSATILE ARTIST WHO BRINGS ALL THE GRIT. THE MAN BEHIND THE LYRICS WAS RAISED BY A SINGLE MOTHER IN WEST BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, WHERE PRESIDENT DAVO GOT HIS LOVE OF MUSIC FROM HIS FAMILY WHO WERE ALWAYS INVOLVED IN SOME ASPECT OF MUSIC. IT WAS NATURAL, AS DAVO GREW UP LISTENING TO A WIDE RANGE OF MUSIC. IN 2012, DAVO AND FRIENDS STARTED A RAP GROUP CALLED "YOUNG AND GIFTED" (YNG).THE GROUP'S MUSIC WAS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY DAVO'S FAVORITE ARTISTS-- LIL WAYNE, DRAKE,CHRIS BROWN, AND BALTIMORE'S OWN KING LOS.
THE TABLES TURNED FOR DAVO WHEN ALL HIS FRIENDS IN YNG WERE ARESTED. DAVO LOST INTEREST IN MUSIC. HOWEVER, CLOSE FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES ADVISED HIM TO CONTINUE MUSIC AND REMAIN ENCOURAGED. DURING THE REBIRTH PROCESS, DAVO STARTED HIS TV SERIES 'YNGTV'. THE VIDEOS RECEIVED OVER MILLIONS OF IMPRESSIONS. THIS FUELED HIM TO REMAIN PERSISTENT IN CHASING HIS DREAMS. WITH OVER 10 MILLION VIEWS, DAVO'S HIT SINGLE 'I DON'T WANNA BE A PLAYA' DEMANDED RESPECT FROM THE LIKES OF JUSTINE BEIBER, BOBBY SHMURDA, AND MANY MORE. HIS FOLLOW UP HIT 'FOREVER FREESTYLE' NOW HAS OVER 4 MILLION VIEWS.
DAVO HAS RELEASED HIS DEBUT ALBUM 'FOREVER', MIXTAPE 'BEEN BEEN', AND COLLAB EP 'LAYUPS'. HE HAS HAD MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS WITH ALL LOCAL RADIO STATIONS AND SOCIAL MEDIA TALK SHOWS. DAVO HAS ALSO HAD PERFORMANCES FEATURED ON ABC AND ALONGSIDE LIL BABY, DAVE EAST, G- HERBO, MONEYBAGG YO, AND OTHER LABEL ARTISTS. CURRENTLY, DAVO IS WORKING ON MULTIPLE PROJECTS
