Dakarai Gwitira

Dakarai Gwitira, known professionally as Dakari, is a Zimbabwe-born record producer, audio engineer, and DJ. He is best known for his work with American rapper G-Eazy, having contributed to each of his studio albums since When It's Dark Out.

Early life

Dakari immigrated to the U.S., specifically Dallas, Texas, at age 12. Creating noise in every which way possible, absorbing as much as he could, Dakari took that passion and turned it into a career. Before becoming a world-class music-maker, Dakari grew up in Zimbabwe. “I was in to music but I never knew of it as a career path. My dad at the time lived here in the U.S. so he sent back a keyboard and I used to play on it. I couldn't record on it because it wasn't a sequence so I'd play a drum pattern and memorize it and be playing a beat in my head while I play a melody. I would pick it up and play with it for a month then I'd forget about it for a few months. Then I'd randomly come back to it and that's how it always was. That was music for me back then. "The city really shaped who I am today, not only musically, but as a person."

Career (2015–present) In 2015, Dakari picked up his bags for the last time and moved to Los Angeles to work closely with G-Eazy, and three years later he has never looked back. "Within the first 10 seconds [of meeting G-Eazy and hearing him rap], I knew I was going to work with this guy." and "Sober" with Charlie Puth.

In 2018, he announced that [he is working on] "a DJ/Producer project. I just wanna release my version of dope and connect with the people that connect with what I like. That's what being an artist is, really, that enough people like your music. What I've kind of realized is just that sometimes other people's version of dope and my [version of dope] just doesn't match. I'm not trying to be old and have a bunch of music I thought was dope and it never existed because I never placed it with an artist or because it didn't click with somebody in the business." He released his debut single, "Enough" (featuring G-Eazy, Tommy Genesis and Jozzy) in November of that year.
