Born in Quezon City, Philippines, in 1965, Dante's musical experiences began on the piano at the age of 8 and has since been composing his own original material. In Toronto, he began a professional career as a DJ in many circuits, spinning at venues such as the Copa and Spectrum, guest appearances in other high profile Toronto clubs such as The Diamond, RPM and Papparazzi. He got into remixing, producing, and writing for artists such as eye eye, BB Boris, Christina Lorr and Barbie Castellvi in 1986. In 1992 Dante received a Juno Award resulting from a compilation of Worldbeat music produced by Parachute Club's Billy Bryans. That album entitled "The Gathering" won Best Worldbeat Album that year. Dante was also an active dance music reviewer for several magazines and the Cheer DJ Pool over a 15 year period. In April 1997 Dante formed "The ALiens", a musical dance/art/rock concept currently in progress. All in all Dante is set to release several tracks under his belt as producer, songwriter as well as artist under his new pseudonym as Dante Krysto.
