Dan Bull

Dan Bull is an English rapper and songwriter from Bromsgrove, England, born in 1986. He built his following largely through YouTube, where his gaming-related raps and rap battles brought him a dedicated online audience well before mainstream media caught on. Tracks like «Dovahkiin» (inspired by The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim), «Enderman Rap» (Minecraft) and songs tied to Overwatch, Dishonored and Civilization made him one of the most recognizable names in gaming-culture hip-hop.

Beyond gaming tributes, Bull is known for politically charged material addressing digital rights, government censorship and the music industry, at times drawing attention from advocacy groups and even the TalkTalk Group, who sought his support in opposing the UK’s Digital Economy Bill. His style blends rap with pop, rock and R&B textures, giving his output a versatile, internet-native sound that moves easily between comedic gaming anthems and more serious social commentary.

Dan Bull’s career reflects the rise of independent, YouTube-driven music careers in the 2000s and 2010s, where an artist could build a substantial audience without a traditional label pipeline by tapping directly into fan communities around video games and internet culture.
