Dawko (born December 30, 1995) is an English YouTuber and nerdcore artist. He is best known for his gameplay and theory videos and songs, usually based on Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNaF).

Dawko started his musical career in 2015 with his DAGames collab, “Dear Brother”. The song was inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s 4, and one of the characters it introduced, the Crying Child.

Dawko next released a few collabs with CG5, “Labyrinth,” and “Projections,”, both being released on CG5’s YouTube channel.

In May 2018, Dawko released his first song on his channel, though it was still released under CG5’s alias on streaming services. “Like It or Not”. The song became Dawko’s most popular video, and set the stage for his next songs.

The next song to be released was December 2018’s CG5 collab, “Make Your Move,” which mostly ended Charlie and Dawko’s musical collaborations, though he would continue to write two more songs, and feature on another.

Dawko next collaborated with producer and songwriter, DHeusta. On May 16, 2020, they released their first song together. A Glitchtrap song, “Darkest Desire”. This song was met with highly positive reception, becoming one of Dawko’s most popular videos on YouTube. The song also got a sequel on December 25, 2021, “It’s Spreading,” a collaboration with CG5, DAGames and DHeusta.

Dawko and DHeusta have also made songs inspired by the Five Nights at Freddy’s: Fazbear Frights book series, “Into the Pit,” “To Be Beautiful,” “Count the Ways,” “FETCH,” “The Lonely,” and “Out of Stock.”

Other songs were created in between, including remixes such as a big band remix of The Living Tombstone’s “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” a FNaF-inspired remix of “Oogie Boogie’s Song,” a Security Breach song, “Make Me a Hero,” and Dawko was featured in an Among Us-inspired mega-collab by NerdOut and CG5, “The Among Us Rap Battle (Killer on the Floor).”

Dawko also has multiple side-projects, including his Nintendo-based YouTube channel, Nindawko and his comic/cartoon brand, Hex.
