Forrest Schab known by his stage name DY (born in 1984) is a Canadian hip-hop artist raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In 2009, he signed to CP Records.
Biography
His stage name is an acronym deriving from his nickname Die Young. DY has been making music independently since the age of 14 winning several emcee competitions and releasing solo material.
