Mini bio
A bedroom beginning.
ArrDee is Riley Davies, a rapper from Brighton. In a Viper interview, they recalled making an early recording at an AudioActive youth session, then recording their own music in a one-bedroom flat. “Cheeky Bars” and “6AM in Brighton” were recorded in their bedroom, with hours spent editing the vocals.
The verse that travelled.
In 2021, “Cheeky Bars”, “6AM in Brighton” and a Plugged In freestyle helped introduce ArrDee before their guest verse on Tion Wayne and Russ Millions’ “Body” remix spread on TikTok. Solo singles followed: “Oliver Twist” reached No. 6 in the UK, and “Flowers (Say My Name)” reached No. 5.
More sides to the story.
The debut mixtape Pier Pressure arrived in 2022 and reached No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart. ArrDee explained to Hypebeast that its title connects Brighton’s pier with the pressure of representing home. The project moves between playful tracks, quieter moments such as “Early Hours”, and collaborations with Aitch and Lola Young.
Keeping the collaborations moving.
ArrDee featured on Chase & Status and Hedex’s “Liquor & Cigarettes” in 2023. The next stretch brought collaborations with Devlin, Organize, A!MS, Hedex, Digital Farm Animals and Mazza_l20. In June 2026, they released the six-track EP Lead By Exsample, followed by an October UK headline run listed for Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol and Birmingham.
