- 2:59Speaker 1: To day awesomeness. Now, Dante, let's go back. Tell me
- 3:04Speaker 1: about Dante growing up in North Carolina.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I grew up as just you know,
- 3:10Speaker 2: a black country kid and love to go to church.
- 3:13Speaker 2: But also you know, my parents were weren't in church,
- 3:17Speaker 2: my grandparents were, so also grew up around you know,
- 3:20Speaker 2: R and D music, music in general. My family they
- 3:23Speaker 2: all sing. They're really good singer. So it was just
- 3:26Speaker 2: a pretty like I've had a pretty wholesome upbringing, yeah,
- 3:29Speaker 2: for the most part, and so it just bred what
- 3:32Speaker 2: I do today, though, for sure, because mostly you know,
- 3:35Speaker 2: I was surrounded by music more than anything else.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I love that. I love that growing up with your
- 3:41Speaker 1: grandparents as ministers as a matter of fact, so you
- 3:44Speaker 1: had that solid foundation growing up. I love that.
- 3:49Speaker 2: So then, Dante, I've been running around the church a long.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Time, our long time running around the church. So then
- 3:55Speaker 1: now to come to become this being my gospel song
- 3:59Speaker 1: right of the Year, to become this Grammy Award winner,
- 4:03Speaker 1: to become a Dove Award winner when you were running
- 4:06Speaker 1: around I know you were young then, but when you
- 4:08Speaker 1: started your music career, was this your aspiration? Did? Did
- 4:12Speaker 1: you see this in your future? Could you have imagined this?
- 4:15Speaker 2: I think so. I think so. My family affirmed me
- 4:18Speaker 2: so much like my parents, my grandparents, you know, just
- 4:22Speaker 2: a lot of affirmation in our household and just in
- 4:25Speaker 2: our family in general. So when we had a cookout,
- 4:27Speaker 2: you know, certain kids that could sing with sings, see,
- 4:30Speaker 2: they could dance a damnce like it was just a
- 4:32Speaker 2: big talent show and we have Thanksgiving. It was the
- 4:34Speaker 2: same thing, Christmas gathering, the same thing. So I think
- 4:37Speaker 2: naturally I didn't feel like it was impossible, if that
- 4:40Speaker 2: can answer the question. Yeah, I think it was impossible,
- 4:43Speaker 2: but I wouldn't say that I necessarily thought it would
- 4:45Speaker 2: happen the way it happened or how fast it happened,
- 4:48Speaker 2: you know.
- 4:49Speaker 1: But I love the fact, Dante, you just spoke to
- 4:52Speaker 1: how important it was and significant it was that your
- 4:56Speaker 1: family believed in you growing up and they allowed you
- 5:00Speaker 1: to use your gifts. That's amazing because you know our
- 5:04Speaker 1: family people. Yeah. So from performing in front of the
- 5:07Speaker 1: family to then making appearances on the Soul Trade Awards
- 5:13Speaker 1: at Tammern Hall Show, Billboard Entertainment Tonight, Vogue b e T.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Come on, Dante bo vote listen. I told you he's
- 5:22Speaker 1: somebody to know. Now he's somebody to know. What would
- 5:25Speaker 1: you say to a young I guess aspiring artist. What
- 5:29Speaker 1: would you say to them?
- 5:30Speaker 2: I would just say, keep God first, be yourself and
- 5:33Speaker 2: what then? What I mean by yourself? Because I know
- 5:35Speaker 2: it's a lot, but I mean, just stick to your guns.
- 5:37Speaker 2: You know. I feel like a lot of times we
- 5:39Speaker 2: can get influenced once you get to a certain level
- 5:42Speaker 2: or a certain place, I would just say, stick to
- 5:43Speaker 2: your guns, like be yourself and keep God keeper of
- 5:47Speaker 2: all you do, all.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Right, and tell me about a man music.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Oh yeah, to worship collective or worship side of our label.
- 5:54Speaker 2: And we have a new artist right now in Tiana
- 5:56Speaker 2: that's really killing it. She's doing such a great job.
- 5:59Speaker 2: And it's just the side of my label that carries
- 6:02Speaker 2: the worship, you know, and it actually carries a specific sound.
- 6:06Speaker 2: And so I love it. I love being a part
- 6:09Speaker 2: of some label that actually gives us room to worship
- 6:13Speaker 2: God in that way, you know what I mean. So
- 6:15Speaker 2: that's that's what Amen basically is.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Now let's get to the personal stuff. Does Dante Bou cook?
