And although his heart was left in the San Francisco Bay, opportunity led him to his adopted hometown of Stockton, California.

That love for rocking a crowd continued to music production. In 2008, the Hayward\/Los Angeles native added his talents to a group called the 3 Kali King, where he not only produced but rapped and sang. Alongside group members Khali-B and Kleeane, their regional hit \u201cKalifornia\u201d propelled DAO to work with many artists around the Bay Area, honing his sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2014 DAO produced and hosted a radio show called \u201cGeneration U\u201d successful at the dawn of the now huge podcast market. He also produced with Alex Keys and collaborated with songwriters throughout Los Angeles. He performed at RnB Live, LA Live,Vision Performing Arts Center, the Mint with talents such as BJ the Chicago Kid, Deray Davis, Keirra Sheird, and RJfromLA just to name a few. Now he\u2019s back to bring his unique artistry to the world with original music, blending Soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and EDM. Shaking up the world is what DAO was born to do and he\u2019s gonna fuck it up!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLVC KI California native Blvc Ki isn\u2019t the copy paste West Coast artist we\u2019ve become used to.
