Born and Raised in East Palo Alto CA Dante M. Roberson. . I've been touring since the age of 13 and playing since I was in the womb. ( don't believe me? ask my mom lol). My goal is to inspire others as I try to become a better musician than I was yesterday. He began playing drums at his family church at the age of 5 yrs old. Entering Junior High and High School Dante' played in the jazz bands, orchestras. He had also started playing with gospel groups and doing workshops with Daryl Coley. Dante' was able to hone his skills in a variety of musical styles when great like Anthony King, Michael Turner, Paul Bains, and Will Kennedy took him under there wings. ( You can say they where the best lessons money could buy). After going on his first tour with D'wayne Wiggins of Tony Toni Ton'e, Dante' hasn't look back ever since..
