Dave

His name really is just 'Dave'"Dave, yeah. My full name is David. I tried to go by a tagname and it went awfully - people laughed at me! So I was like, forget about that, I'm just going to go with my name, Dave. I also go by Santan Dave. Or DaveSantan.
Dave likes Anime

"I like the whole culture. I've always like Dragonballz and Naruto, that kind of drawing. My older brother draws so he was always drawing Dragonballz characters and so I got into it from there. I jump into everything until I find one thing that I enjoy more than others. Around south London, people my age, it's a big thing to certain people because it's got this weird sense of freedom to it. You can do ever you want. Characters can look however they want, there's no constraints with CGI or storylines. You create anything, a whole world. Anime is so different, it's such a sick thing because it's not from here. It's from a completely different world, not just the Japan/ Asian influence, but the world within itself."

Dave has some famous fans"Stormzy's been showing me mad love, I've got mad love for Stormzy, he's a great guy. Yeah Stormzy and Wiley, they are two very big names, that have shown me love. Also Potter Payper and Devlin have been supporting, all my guys from Hackney, George the Poet. Oh and Will Poulter. Is that his name? the actor? That was a strange one, but that was sick.8. The most important people in Dave's life are his brothers"They remind me to make use of everything I have, all the time, everything I take for granted. That's why a lot of my music is brother-centric. In my FITB I purposely didn't mention their names or stuff about them because other tracks I have mentioned them all the time. But they're actually so important to me, their influence, everything around me. That's why it shows up in my music a lot. It means a lot to me for them to hear my music now they're in prison. They got to hear my Fire In The Booth. Whenever I speak to my brothers in prison - not just them actually, I have nine or 10 very close friends in prison - to have all of them calling me to tell me they heard me on the radio. That's always been so important to me, because they can't listen to their own music in there, so to be able to change that from a year ago, watching them complain about the music they're listening to, to a year later, is crazy."
