Dante Alston

Born in Washington D.C., R&amp;B Guitarist and Songwriter Dante Alston was known to have a penchant for melodies at a young age. With no formal training, Alston is entirely self-taught on guitar and composes many of his own instrumentals. Inspired by artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:0hEurMDQu99nJRq8pTxO14" data-name="John Mayer">John Mayer</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2Mu5NfyYm8n5iTomuKAEHl" data-name="Ms. Lauryn Hill">Ms. Lauryn Hill</a>, his signature melodic acoustic approach can be found at the root of much of his music. “Making music is more than just an expression of art for me,” says Alston, “...it’s almost like a form of therapy so I’m very protective of who’s involved in the writing and production process. Usually it’s just myself and an engineer.”


Despite multiple publishing deals in consideration, his debut single <a href="spotify:album:39Z318lJ1uf9W2d18z4PXV" data-name="All of It's Yours">All of It's Yours</a> released as an independent project. This debut merged his traditional acoustic arpeggios with an alternative R&amp;B flare. The record features production from Juei, the Miami native also known as Retro and one half the rap duo <a href="spotify:artist:0mPsyIK7mmoFBbxe5jJMhI" data-name="Slov and retro">Slov and retro</a>.
