Put your hand up if you said 2020 was gonna be YOUR year - pledging no more negativity and good vibes only. Well my hand is up, and so is one of Western Sydney’s self-producing rapper-songwriters, DANTE.
The 19-year-old from the Penrith area, who describes himself as versatile, chill, and determined, has a message to share through his beats and lyrics.
‘Success to me looks like one person coming up to you and saying that your song helped them through a hard time in their life’ he said.
Aside from his music, DANTE takes after his Dad in his passion for people, as he works for Headspace Penrith as a youth peer support coach.
‘Working with youth has always been something I’ve wanted to do and I’m so glad I have the opportunity to do so in mental health. I see myself in a lot of the young people I meet, that is why I’m so passionate and why it means so much to me’ he told The Western.
Since releasing his first since single Mountains and Valleys on Soundcloud in 2016, DANTE hasn’t put his microphone down, and even put out his first mixtape titled Experiment 626 last year.
Among his style-diverse discography, the clean heavy beats, convicting lyrics, entrancing vocals, and overall vibes of his tracks OFFMYMIND, NIGHTMARES, and KNOW MYSELF are what DANTE says are closest to ‘his’ sound.
Today is the release of the official music video for his new song BACKAWAY and it’s definitely not one to be missed.
When he told me BACKAWAY is about ‘ letting go of all the negative things you hold onto in life that are holding you back from being the best you possible’, I immediately wanted to hear it because I’m definitely ready for my new mindset this year!
I hope you are too, because DANTE and CT Productions are proud to present the song with a laid back beat and lyrics that ‘go hard’, so go check out BACKAWAY.
