Early Life and Education

Costadinos Contostavlos is now 38 years old and was born on 11 June 1987 in the Camden Town area of London. He grew up in a musical family: his father, Byron Contostavlos, was a bass player with the 1970s hit-making band Mungo Jerry.

As a child he attended Richard Cobden Primary School and St Aloysius Secondary School (a boys-only school in Islington) though he was expelled from one of the schools for truancy.

Despite challenges in his schooling, he achieved an A* in his English GCSE and was mindful of needing to sort his Maths so he knew what he was doing about money.

Personal Life

Dappy has two sons, Gino and Milo, with his former partner Kaye Vassell. He has been open about his early life, personal mistakes and legal issues, and spoken about becoming a “better person” in more recent years.

Career

Dappy’s rise began with the formation of N-Dubz, a trio composed of Dappy, his cousin Tulisa Contostavlos and their friend Richard “Fazer” Rawson. The group’s breakthrough came in the late 2000s, with albums such as Uncle B (2008) and singles like “Number 1” (with Tinchy Stryder) achieving strong chart performance.

In 2011, while the band paused its group activity, Dappy launched his solo career. His debut solo single “No Regrets” was released on 18 September 2011 and reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. His debut solo album, Bad Intentions, followed in late 2012. He released further singles including “Rockstar” featuring Brian May, and “Good Intentions”.

In the mid-2010s onwards, Dappy continued releasing music as a solo artist, with songs such as “Oh My” (2018) featuring Ay Em. He remains active in music with new releases and performances.

Net Worth

Dappy’s estimated net worth is around £1.6 million. This figure is derived from his earnings with N-Dubz, solo music releases, endorsements and performance income, although his career has also seen financial and legal challenges.
