Riley Davies (born 17 September 2002), known professionally as ArrDee, is a British rapper. His debut mixtape, '' Pier Pressure'', was released on 18 March 2022.

Early life

Davies was born and raised in Brighton, England. On growing up in Brighton, Davies told ''Acclaim'' magazine, "Brighton is tight. Between my collective of people, I can almost one-hundred percent say we know everybody in Brighton. If we don’t, we know somebody that knows the ones we don’t know." "I was rapping at the age of 13, I used to run a studio in a one-bedroom flat." said Davies in an interview for HYPEBEAST Sole Mates. "At that time the music wasn’t going anywhere, but as I grew up I made connections through Instagram, I’d bunk the train to London, I’d be working and sleeping in studios in London for three days on end, so I had to get the network out there."
