Dante Ross

Dante Ross is a Grammy-winning record producer and legendary A&R for labels such as Tommy Boy, Elektra, and Loud Records. Born in San Francisco and raised in New York City, he ran with the first wave of characters who would take Hip-Hop into its Golden Era in the ‘90s and beyond. Ross’s major signings proved that the genre’s most powerful thinkers could also be chart-friendly and was responsible in part for the elevation of artists such as De La Soul, Queen Latifah, Digital Underground, Brand Nubian, Grand Puba, Del the Funky Homosapien, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, KMD, Leaders of the New School, Busta Rhymes, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, amongst many others.
