Early life
Dave DaMan was born in Awesomeness City, Balkra. He did not have a father figure as his dad was serving time in jail for a violent crime he did shortly before his birth. He was raised by his single mother, Kali MacKenzie.

DaMan's interest in music started around his teenage years, where he was addicted to many video game soundtracks and would freestyle over them, he also joined the school band in 7th grade, where he was able to play multiple instruments such as the trumpet, flute, and drums.

Sometime when he was in 9th grade, DaMan's mother Kali unexpectedly died from a car crash, this resulted in Dave moving into his grandparents house, his music quickly saw a change, as he went from rapping about how he was the best, to not even having fun.

Career beginnings (2010-2012)
In order to get DaMan to be his regular self again, his friends would always hang out with him after school, they would make him freestyle by hyping him up, throwing dollars all over the room he was recording in. DaMan released his first three tracks on SoundCloud in 2010, under the name Dude DaMan, one of the tracks is called "Eatin' McDonald's" and can still be listened to this day while the remaining two have since been deleted.

DaMan continued to freestyle and post songs on SoundCloud, he started using the stage name Lil Important after a comment from one of his song said: "dam bru this is fire! if u gonna be in the rap game one day you gonna be important."

After graduating high school in 2012, DaMan started rapping near local marketplaces to get money, a Random Records manager saw him rapping and offered him a deal with the label, at first DaMan rejected, but quickly changed his mind after realizing it could change his life.

DaMan released his debut single "Best" on 2013, the song would get over ten thousand streams along with other songs, but it wasn't until 2014 he saw big attention.
