Daniel Nwosu Jr., better known as the Canadian rapper, singer and songwriter, Dax, is currently riding a wave of success with his Country-infused and near Gold breakout single “Dear Alcohol”. Initially sparked by his millions of devoted followers on TikTok, the single burst on DSPs and very soon after garnered a remix with Grammy-nominated Country artist, Elle King.
