Growing up in Connecticut, Dayo's only focus in life was being creative in any way possible. From a young age, Dayo saw the world as his canvas, drawing and doodling on everything he could get his hands on. Luckily for him, his parents saw this as a positive sign and not as a child constantly trying to mess with his surroundings. In seeing this, Dayo's parents not only gave him the colors and tools he needed to create but they gave him what would be considered every child's dreamthe freedom to do whatever he wanted to do with his environment. Having an unrestricted space to create, Dayo painted every inch of every wall in his room, developing every world his imagination could squander up. This was his way of communicating what his mind wanted to say.
In 1995, Dayo moved his life down to the Dirty South. So after packing the bare essentials, Dayo headed to Savannah, Georgia to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design to study Film and Video and to develop his creative tendencies with other artistic outcasts like himself. While attending the school, he was introduced to various new ways of creating such as sculpture, computers, music and writing.
During the five years of living in Savannah, Dayo was influenced by many musicians, artists and poets giving him the confidence he needed to move to the beautiful Bay Area, California. Upon arriving in San Francisco in 2000, he quickly felt at home because of the very open, artistic and cultural elements of the city and it's people. While living in the middle of the Bay on Treasure Island, Dayo met Root One Music family members R-O and Ali, and the three instantly became friends and began making music together and collaborating with other local musicians on a variety of projects. Together they formed Natural Disaster, a trio dedicated to creating old school grooves with a new school vibe. Dayo has found release in not only writing lyrics, but also in producing beats, DJing and creating art for all of the artists on the Root One Music label. In May of 2008, Dayo released his debut album entitled: "Discombobulation" which featured guest appearances by Lafa Taylor, Goodword, Mr. Vibe, Vie, Natural Disaster and it featured production by Apathy, Raze Brooks, Prozack Turner, Beat Broker, Beatslinger as well as Dayo himself.
Ever since falling in love with the creation of art and music, Dayo has been trying to push his mind's envelope to the max, finding extreme release in the complexity of ideas and concepts while consistently trying new, scary and beautiful things. Dayo is a Video Editor, Graphic Designer, Photographer, Illustrator, Painter, DJ, MC, Producer, and Poet who fight's for love, expression and creativity in all aspects of his world and his art and music is a reflection of that.
