Biography

Flowdan (real name Mark Viera) is a 29 year-old MC from East London. He is one of the founding and longest serving members of the Roll Deep crew, after joining from garage collective Pay As You Go, and is also a part of the collective Cemetary Warriors.

Flow Dan is a veteran MC from East London who started as a Jungle MC in the late nineties before starting Roll Deep with Wiley and has become one of the longest serving members. While at Roll Deep he has featured on all the main singles and featured on all three major CD releases: Rules & Regulations, In At The Deep End which has sold 85,000 copies to date and Return of The Big Money Sound. His first chart success came from the appearance on the UK Top 20 smash FWD Riddim. Then Roll Deep singles Shake A Leg & The Avenue also brought Top 20’s although Flow Dan did not feature on either tune although he did appear on tracks on the maxi-singles. Flow Dan has featured on several tunes with the Dubstep giant The Bug and from this his name has spread globally. He also tours regularly three times a month around the globe in countries such as Canada, Sweden, Belgium, France and Japan[1]. Flow Dan also has consistently featured on mixtapes from other Grime Artists including Wiley, Frisco, Killa P, Slew Dem, D Power & J2K. In recent times Flow Dan has formed his own collective Cemetery Warriors with Riko, Gods Gift, & Killa P which represents the four showcasing their skills in a Caribbean dialect.

It was thought that Flow Dan was working on 'Return of the Big Mic Man Part 3 Volume 1'. However he will be releasing 'Original Dan' for sale on October 19th 2009.
