About

As with many in the music industry, time in the spotlight sometimes requires a change of name that reflects the way the world perceives you. For Noah Coogler the rapper formerly known as White Dave, that moment came in 2022 when he changed his performance persona to OG DAYV. The decision to reinvent and grow beyond the constraints of his previous moniker do not detract from his catalog of work that has been streamed in the multiples of millions. 

Repeatedly following up with music that stands the test of time and delivering sounds that are unique as well as infectious is a hard road to travel on. OG DAYV has always believed in himself to take the more challenging route, and has been fully focused on a music career with numerous albums to date. One of his biggest highlights of 2022 was his appearance on the soundtrack for ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ which put him in the headlights of global audiences. Previously, he appeared on Space Jam: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Judas and the Black Messiah: The Inspired Album and The Creed: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Based in the Bay Area, he has always devoted himself to entertaining the masses with a fluid lyrical flow underpinned by all the Rap and R&B textures to match. Recovering from the trials and tribulations of addiction whilst weaponizing his ADHD to deliver music that is fundamentally a coping mechanism for his everyday challenges, his inspiring rhymes and West Coast groove are immediately recognizable and stand comfortably alongside his peers. 

Undoubtedly original as the name suggests, OG DAYV is striding into the future with the experience and the knowledge to change the game forever.
