Aaron Daniel Davies (born December 20, 1990), most famously known as Bugzy Malone, is a British rapper and actor hailing from Manchester, England. He is recognized as a key figure in the "grime revival," credited with steering UK urban music away from commercialism and achieving mainstream success as the first grime artist from Manchester. Malone's challenging upbringing involved poverty, crime, and witnessing violence, leading to expulsion from school. He found solace and discipline in boxing before turning to music as a means of expression and a career.
Bugzy Malone's career took off with the release of his debut mixtape, SwaggaMan, in 2010. He gained prominence through freestyling on YouTube channels and later released successful EPs like "Walk with Me" and "Facing Time". His EP "King of the North" peaked at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart in 2017. In addition to his music, Malone has ventured into acting, appearing in Guy Ritchie's film "The Gentlemen". In March 2024, he offered a tour of his renovated multi-million-pound mansion, showcasing his design skills. Bugzy Malone is set to release a new album called 'The Great British Dream' on May 10th, 2024.
