Douglas Dare is a London-based singer-songwriter, originally from the coastal town of Bridport, South West England.The son of a piano teacher, Douglas began composing instrumental music from a young age but it was not until studying popular music at University in Liverpool in 2008 that he began songwriting. Douglas’ rich and haunting vocals are combined with lyrics crafted from his own poems and short prose, a writing style that gives his intimate songs wisdom far beyond his 22 years.

Douglas also released his debut album 'Whelm' May 12th 2014 on Erased Tapes and has just supported label mate Nils Frahm on his North American Tour.
