David da Silva Costa writes songs that reflect growing up in a marginalized neighborhood.
For a sense of his style, try 'Tudo Aconteceu' or 'Doze de Junho'. They frame his perspective plainly.
His 2017 track 'Gaiola É o Troco' became a breakout hit by portraying life in communities like his own. Songs like 'Tudo Aconteceu' and '50 Tons' built his presence in Brazilian funk, with lyrics that draw criticism but also a dedicated audience. Albums like 'Na Batida do Coração' and 'Meu Nome É Du Black' anchor his output.
He started writing songs to process difficulties in Jardim Ipanema. After 'Gaiola É o Troco' in 2017, he released more tracks and albums through 2019.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
