DAW$ is a fast emerging Hip-hop artist from the small town of Elmsmere, Kentucky. The singer, songwriter, rapper and producer made his professional debut in 2020 with the single “Been Through Alot.” On the confessional Emo Trap song, the 22 year-old singer looked back on the hard road he has already taken through his young life.
Since then DAW$ has dropped three additional singles, including “On My Own” and 2021’s “Martian.” With each new release he further defines and solidifies his distinctive style. With a unique spin on the genre, he mixes soulful vocals with melodic backing tracks featuring classical instruments and arrangements.
I fell in love with the process of making melodies and creating a vibe that will help get people through the day.
