Dappy

It was announced on 17 June 2011, that N-Dubz had left their American record deal, among the rumours that the band had split. These rumours began circulating again in August 2011, however, Dappy insisted the band had not split, but were simply taking a break As such, during the band's break, all three members decided on embarking upon solo careers. Previous to the band's split, Dappy signed a contract with Takeover Entertainment LTD , which, confirmed that if the band ever split or went on hiatus, would mean he would continue as a solo artist. His first taste of solo stardom came as a guest artist on label-mate Tinchy stryders single, "Spaceship", which was released in June 2011. Whilst deciding upon his debut solo single, Dappy was contacted by Def Jam, asking him what he would like done with the demos of a track N-Dubz had recorded whilst under the label, which remained unreleased. As such, Dappy decided to re-record the track, "No Regrets", and release it as his debut solo effort. Featuring a cameo appearance from band-mate Fazer, "No Regrets" took the charts by storm, peaking at #1 in the UK and Scotland, and at #8 in Ireland.
