Dutchavelli is a rapper born in Birmingham, West Midlands, but at the age of 3, he moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands. At the age of 11, Dutchavelli moved to Hackney, East London where he grew up and lives until this day.

Since a young age, he was always connected to the music industry and influenced by his sister Stefflon Don although not taking music very seriously.

The origin of the name Dutchavelli comes from having, at the start of his career, a Dutch accent when speaking English and probably combining part of the name “Makaveli”, being a supposed reference to the late rapper Tupac alias.

In 2016, “New Jack City”, Dutchavelli’s first single is released.
Since then, he’s been collaborating with artists like Tion Wayne and Stormzy in the breakout single “I Dunno”, as well as GZUZ, M Huncho and Noizy, among others.
