Biography
He co-founded the record company Paperchase Recordings when he was 16, where he is responsible for the creative direction.[1]
The self-taught studio producer and engineer was named by Wire Magazine as a talent to watch.
Although he began his career producing grime tracks, he has since turned his talents onto projects across various genres.
Artists he has written and produced tracks for include, Giggs, Wiley, Estelle, Kano, Tinchy Stryder, Tinie Tempah, Bashy, Bluey Robbinson, Wretch 32, Shola Ama, and others.
There is a subtext to Davinche making him more difficult to pin down or stereotype, he is a pianist and guitarist, who composes and arranges all styles (grime, hip hop, contemporary RnB, and pop) . He has performed a classical concert for the BBC.[2][3][4][5]
