DADÄ’

Meet DADÄ’ (yes, it’s pronounced daddy), the pseudonym for Los Angeles-based non-binary engineer and producer Syd Tagle. In 2018 Tagle joined the band known as The Shakes as their keyboardist and vocalist and began to carve out their niche in production. Post the split of the band, Syd moved to Los Angeles to pursue the studio life. Over their first three years in L.A., they had the pleasure of building relationships with and working with many artists from SZA (3x Grammy winning, SOS), Don Toliver (Love Sick), to Giveon (Give Or Take). In 2023 life took them in yet another direction - the G Flip “Drummer Tour” - acting as the musical director and keyboardist for opening act Miki Ratsula; once again sparking their love for performing. 

After years of stacking up hard drives full of ideas, Syd finally decided to take the songs out of the vault, polish them, and upload them for the world to hear via their debut solo artist endeavor DADÄ’. Veering away from their track record of R&B and indie/alternative credits, DADÄ’ acts as the catalyst in an exploration of infectious synths, simple but effective lyrics, and driving melodies. DADÄ’ is a persona and experience - an alter ego or view of self, a bit that went a step too far. Welcome to DADÄ’, the version of you that isn’t afraid to share.
