Costadinos Contostavlos (born 11 June 1987) better known by his stage name Dappy, is a British singer-songwriter, rapper, and actor. He is best known for being the lead singer of the Camden-based Grime/hip hop/R&B trio N-Dubz, with his cousin Tulisa and their friend Fazer. He is known for his slightly unusual dress sense and his love for what he describes as "eye-catching headwear". His trademark is wearing a selection of woolly chullos (sometimes referred to as "Dappy hats"), turning up one of or both the ear-flaps of the hat.
Born and raised in Camden Town, North London, Dappy grew up with his parents, Byron Contostavlos and Zoi Agorou and older brother Spiros. His father had been a member of the group Mungo Jerry. Byron died on 12 April 2007.
When Costadinos was younger, he attended Richard Cobden Primary school, then St Aloysius secondary, a Roman Catholic boys-only school in Islington, attending for a year before being expelled for truancy. In N-Dubz's book Against All Odds: From Street Life to Chart Life, Dappy says that he doesn't remember the school "because I wasn't there often". He then attended Bishop Douglass school when he was around twelve years old, where he got into fights "almost everyday", which "...always started if someone had been making fun of me or something stupid".
Brian Harold May, CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician and astrophysicist most widely known as the guitarist, songwriter and occasional singer of the rock band Queen. As a guitarist he uses his home-built guitar, "Red Special", and has composed hits such as "Tie Your Mother Down", "I Want It All", "We Will Rock You", "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Who Wants to Live Forever".
He was made Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2005 for "services to the music industry and his charity work". May earned a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College in 2007 and is currently the Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University. May currently resides in Surrey.
In 2005, a Planet Rock poll saw May voted the 7th greatest guitarist of all time. He was ranked at No. 26 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
Brian May, the only child of Harold and Ruth May, was born in Hampton, London and attended Hampton Grammar School (now Hampton School). During this time he formed his first band with vocalist and bassist Tim Staffell, named Nineteen Eighty-Four after George Orwell's novel of the same name. He left Hampton Grammar School with ten GCE Ordinary Levels and three Advanced Levels in Physics, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. He studied Mathematics and Physics at Imperial College London, graduating with B.Sc. degree with honours.

Genres: Documentary,They say that I'm dangerous
Like everything I touch it falls apart
If I were to tell, they'll kill me now
So imam cut to the chase
I used to wish on a star but nowadays I need space: Satellites
See the black shades white chain, flashing lights
Never thought I could do this low in the highlights
So I asked Phyllis if I could spend another day in paradise
It's the heaven for the gorellem 27
Could it be three years that I'm jammin' with legends?
I got thousands of fans, I don't get the obsession
There's a nice guy inside, I guess I've never met him
I could buy a fast car
But not even an aeroplane can seem to get me out of here
The pressure and the stress are both dying to see the end of me
And the man in the mirror is looking at me like an enemy
Whoa
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger every time
Whoa
Don't let em tell you how to live your life
They say that I'm dangerous
Like everything I touch it falls apart
If I were to tell, they'll kill me now
So imam cut to the chase
Cause I'm living like a Rockstar
I aint afraid to die young
Cause I be living like a rockstar
I blow up a million miles away
Uhh Ohh Ohh Uhh Ohh Ohh Uhh Ohh Ohh
Chicka BANG BANG
Uhh Ohh Ohh Uhh Ohh Ohh Uhh Ohh Ohh
Chicka BANG BANG
Mama always told me there's someone looking over me
Think she meant the guy with the camera tryna follow me
Be careful what you wish for, cause the truths a little different
If the guardian's my angel, I wish sometimes he would call to me
Then everythings all public, but I didn't prepare
I get shhok up everytime I'm in your bed
Put a star in the room, man I swear it changes the atmosphere
Cause I'm a celebrity, can someone get me out of here
Whoa
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger every time
Whoa
Don't let em tell you how to live your life
They say that I'm dangerous
Like everything I touch it falls apart
If I were to tell, they'll kill me now
So imam cut to the chase
Cause I'm living like a Rockstar
I aint afraid to die young
Cause I be living like a rockstar
I blow up a million miles away
Cause I don't care, I don't care
Take me there, take me thaere
Na nan a I aint scared, I aint scared
Take me there
But Imma cut to the chase
You ain't a legend till your set in stone
But now your just flesh and bone
Just a lickle brother tryna raise a home
I'll be the best till my dying breath: Brian Jones
A wise girl once sang tears dry on their own
Fuck a moment of silence in my house
We shut the whole shit down for Winehouse
You, so I've got something to say
Take aim, pull the trigger
Cause your never going to blow me away
They say that I'm dangerous
Like everything I touch it falls apart
If I were to tell, they'll kill me now
So imam cut to the chase
Cause I'm living like a Rockstar
I aint afraid to die young
Cause I be living like a rockstar
I blow up a million miles away
Cause I don't care, I don't care
Take me there, take me thaere
Na nan a I aint scared, I aint scared
Take me there
But Imma cut to the chase
