Born in Sudan. Raised in Melbourne's south-east.

Daniel Elia grew up dancing in Sudan before immigrating to Australia, where he found his voice in hip-hop. A GRID Series alumni with a Triple J debut, his music confronts identity, police profiling, mental health, and what it means to be Black in Australia.

Influenced by Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Andre 3000 — blending trap-soul, melodic rap, and raw vulnerability across three projects and counting.
