Darius Albert Delfín Dasig (June 10, 1963 – March 13, 2012),[1] more widely known as Bodjie Dasig, was a Filipino singer, songwriter and music producer.

He first came into prominence for writing the song "Ale (nasa Langit Na ba Ako)?" ("Ma'am [Have I Gone to Heaven]?") and "Maáalala Mo Pa Rin" ("You'll Still Remember") for singer Richard Reynoso, and "Ayo' ko Na Sana" ("I Wish I Didn't Have To") for Ariel Rivera. He also wrote and sang the hit song "Sana Dalawa ang Puso Ko" ("I Wish I Had Two Hearts") for his band Bodjie's Law of Gravity, which became the theme song of a movie with the same name in 1994.

He also collaborated with his wife, fellow singer-songwriter Odette Quesada, whom he married in 1993.[1]

Dasig died in a Los Angeles hospital on March 12, 2012 after a long bout with cancer. He was survived by Odette and their son Darian.[1]
