Shining quietly as an underground phenomenon with billions of streams and a diehard fanbase, Platinum-certified Nigerian-Canadian rapper, singer, and songwriter DAX shares a brand-new single entitled “Lonely Dirt Road” out now on RECORDS / Columbia Records. Listen HERE. Once again, he teams up with frequent collaborator and director Logan Meis for the accompanying cinematic music video. Watch HERE.
Co-written by Dax and Lex Nour, “Lonely Dirt Road” showcases both his elevated songcraft and powerful vocals all at once. Between strains of soft piano, guitar echoes and a hypnotic beat takes hold, underscoring the emotion in his words. Exuding the heartfelt honesty that has consistently endeared listeners, he takes stock of faith’s indelible impact on his journey so far. He sings, “I bring my hatred, I pack my pain. All the emotions I cannot explain. It’s where I found God and filled that hole. It’s he, myself and I on that lonely dirt road.”
The visual seamlessly translates this message to the screen with a captivating narrative.
Earlier this year, he dropped the fan favorite “A Real Man.” It has already amassed over 9.4 million Spotify streams and 9 million-plus YouTube views on the music video.
Inciting some of the highest praise of his career, People sat down with him for an extensive interview and highlighted how “On “A Real Man,“ he dives into the perceived gender role placed upon men to be the provider and “strong one” in a relationship. But as Dax points out in his latest music, that notion is often not reality.” GRUNGECAKE hailed it as “a musical composition meant to support and encourage men in trying times, in doubt.” The Source marveled at his organic come-up, “Dax’s journey from rising talent to chart-topping sensation is a testament to his dedication and talent.”
Meanwhile, his latest smash “To Be A Man” is closing in on a Gold certification, nearing his second plaque from the RIAA.
Dax is giving men, boys, women, and girls a positive voice to look up to in 2024.
Stay tuned for more music soon.
Dax capped off 2023 by sharing a blockbuster version of his hit “To Be a Man” with none other than three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Diamond-selling icon Darius Rucker. Beyond piling up tens of millions of streams and over 20 million YouTube views on the music video, the track debuted on top of the Billboard Country Digital Songs Sales chart making history as the first black duo to achieve this feat. Dax joined Darius for his Grand Ole Opry debut performance in March and made his US TV performance debut on the TODAY Show, watch HERE.
Breaking through on his own terms with over 2.2 billion total streams, 30 million social media followers and 1 billion YouTube views to date, Dax continues to make a name for himself in the music industry by creating topic-driven music that sparks conversation. 2022 proved to be a pivotal year for Dax with the release of “Dear Alcohol” and he continued that momentum in 2023 with a JUNO Award nomination for ‘Breakout Artist of the Year.’ His 7-track project, What Is Life?, featured four new songs as well as previously released singles “God’s Eyes,” “To Be A Man,” and “Dear Alcohol,” which is officially certified Platinum by the RIAA marking Dax’s first track to sell more than one million copies in the US.
Everything just sets the stage for more music and live shows to come from Dax in 2024.
