His musical journey began in the vibrant neighborhood of Periperi, where he was immersed in percussive rhythms from a young age, influenced by his grandfather's diverse record collection.

A pivotal moment in Dactes' career was witnessing a performance by Mano Brown, which solidified his desire to pursue music professionally. This inspiration, combined with his innate talent, has led him to develop a signature sound characterized by smooth flows and laid-back beats, often produced by himself. His debut EP, "Sem pressa," released in 2021, showcased this distinct style and garnered attention for its mature artistry.
