Dappy
Dappy is an English rapper, singer and actor. He is also the lead singer of MOBO award-winning English hip hop band N-Dubz. He is known for his slightly unusual dress sense and his love for what he describes as "repulsive headwear". His trademark is wearing a selection of woolly chullos (sometimes referred to as "Dappy hats"). Born and raised in Camden Town, North London, Dappy grew up with his parents, Zoi Agorou and Byron Contostavlos, and older brother Spiros.
Dappy and Fazer (who he had first met at karate lessons when he was 9, before becoming best friends with him at school) started making beats together and coming up with bars, later asking Tula "Tulisa" Contostavlos, Dappy's cousin, to join the band. They the started to perform in and around Camden Town from the age of 13 years old. At the time they were called the Lickle Rinsers Crew and went under the management of Dappy's father Byron, who had found success with 1970s pop band Mungo Jerry.
Dappy has made various appearances on TV and in music videos. He appeared on the television show Never Mind the Buzzcocks on 29 November 2007, on Phill Jupitus's team, and wore a trademark "Dappy hat", also giving one to Simon Amstell to wear as part of the gag. He appeared in Chipmunk's video "Chip Diddy Chip", as a one of Chipmunk's school friends. He has also appeared many times on GMTV with Fazer and Tulisa and also went on Big Brother's Little Brother with Tulisa to discuss the contestants in the 2008 celebrity series. He made a cameo appearance on K.I.G's "Head, Shoulders, Kneez and Toez" music video alongside Fearless and the band's DJ/co-producer Mazer. He also featured on Gracious K's "Migraine Skank" video with Fazer.
He also released a single without his other band mates with Tinchy Stryder called "Number 1".
