Dason Portrait on a brown painted wall

From a long line of creative folks…

People have always meant well. 

Some people treat me as if I were the same as them.

Others want to emphasize our differences. 

I’ve learned how to be different in my sameness;

How to blend,

How to play up my unique characteristics. 

Origin

My story starts in Canada where I was born.

I had a happy childhood but I grew up surrounded by people that don’t look like me.

In the 90s, Black people represented about 0.8% of the population according to census data. 

I never let that get to me.

You’ll hear it in my music. 

It hits different. 

  • I am a sucker for analog. I started “in the box” so naturally I became obsessed with escaping it.

  • Piano

    Bass

    Guitar

    Cello

  • I start with authentic instruments and tried-and-tested recording techniques to achieve quality at every turn.

    I’m also prone to massive experimentation.

    Think classics filtered through modern lenses and experimentations tied to traditional foundations.
