DAP The Contract
DAP The Contract is a producer/rapper/singer and classically trained pianist, born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, who started playing the piano at age 4. He attended the Berklee College of Music for two semesters focusing on jazz piano, music production and engineering. He released his mixtape GoodBye For Never in October 2014, which The Source magazine labelled “the best mixtape of 2014”. In September 2015, while studying for the LSAT, he was invited to the renowned Abbey Road Studios in London for recording sessions with Grammy award winning "Uptown Funk" producer Mark Ronson after being selected for a competition produced by Converse.
A Brown University ('16) and Columbia Law School ('20) graduate, and licensed intellectual property lawyer (with Sound Logic), DAP has released 9 solo self-produced projects, and the collaborative album Group Project under the group moniker Hi-Lo Jack with fellow collaborators Clyde Lawrence (of Lawrence) and Cody Fitzgerald (of Stolen Jars).
DAP has performed across continents, most notably in Lagos, London, and New York at venues in each such as Muri Okunola Park, The Saatchi Gallery, and Bowery Ballroom, and at festivals such as SXSW and Nativeland Festival (Lagos). He has opened for artists such as Skepta, Burna Boy, Rema, Lawrence (the band) and The Cavemen. DAP is a 2025 Salt Lick Incubator grant winner, selected by a panel of judges including Jon Batiste, Charlie Puth, Patrice Russian and more.
DAP released his new single “Fuji Shuffle (To The Left)” on October 23, 2026. Visit his website for more information.
