David Immanuel Menachem Sasagi Le’aupepe[1] is an Australian singer, songwriter, guitarist and frontman of alternative rock band Gang of Youths, which he founded in 2011.
He served as the sole songwriter on the band's first two albums, The Positions (2015) and Go Farther in Lightness (2017), finding lyrical inspiration from personal hardships including loss.
Following the death of his father in 2018, the band's most recent album, Angel in Realtime (2022), is a reflection on Le'aupepe's grieving process and family identity.
