Dante Bowe is a GRAMMY Award Winning and multi-platinum-selling songwriter, performer, and recording artist from Rockingham, NC, now based in Dallas, TX. The chart-topping artist is the CEO of TRUE Music and has been featured on the Tamron Hall Show, Variety, Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, Vogue.com, and BET.
Known for his distinctive raspy vocals, Dante made history as the first artist to have the greatest number of simultaneous GRAMMY nominations in both Gospel & Christian genres with 3 solo and 2 group award nominations for the upcoming 64th GRAMMY Awards including Best Gospel Performance/Song twice for “Voice of God” and "joyful,” Best Gospel Performance/Song for “Wait on You” with Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music; Best 5 Gospel Album with Maverick City Music for Jubilee: Juneteenth Edition, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album with Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music.
Dante's independent debut Son of a Father (2017), rose to No. 21 on the Billboard Charts establishing a sound that was uniquely Dante — an infectious mix of soul, gospel, and R&B. In 2018, after spending time on the road as a backing vocalist, Dante left the security of steady employment to take center stage as a worship leader. He was a co-writer on the platinum-selling track, “In Spite of Me [feat. Ciara]” for Tasha Cobbs Leonard, and Maverick City Music’s biggest hit to date, “Promises." In June 2019, Bowe joined the Bethel Music Collective and appeared on Maverick City Music Volumes I and II as a songwriter.
With familial roots in his heart and an optimistic future in sight, Dante released his sophomore album and Bethel Music label debut, "circles" in 2021. The title track, "Circles" debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart and the chart-topping GRAMMY Nominated single, "Joyful" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard’s Gospel Chart and No. 3 on Hot Gospel Songs. The introspective album, which reflects on the death of his grandfather and the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart, making it the highest solo charting position of Bowe's career. He closed out the season with top ten placements on three different Billboard Year End Charts, hailed as the Top New Gospel Artist of 2021 — No. 9 overall for Top Gospel Artist, No. 4 for Top Male Gospel Artist, and No. 4 for Top New Christian Artists.
Dante Bowe also won his first Dove Award in 2021 at the 52nd GMA Dove Awards for Contemporary Gospel Recorded Song of the Year for “Joyful." The award-winning songwriter made history with “Joyful” again and became the first artist to have his song chart on both the Billboard's Gospel Airplay and Christian Song charts, bridging the gap between Gospel and CCM formats.
Bowe embarked on his first tour in Spring 2022, "What Are We Waiting For? – The Tour," as a solo artist with four-time Grammy award winners and Pop Sensations, For King & Country. With six Grammy nominations for the 65th Grammy Awards and one win, Dante Bowe continues to use both the fashion and music industry to create music and art that is breaking barriers and displaying the glory of God.
Dante is Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TRUE Music, an independent music management company pioneering new approaches to the signing and development of recording artists and songwriters.
Aside from his musical success, Dante is heavily involved with charitable organizations focusing on children, homelessness, and at-risk youth.
Above all, Dante believes that raising the level of authenticity in worship will cause cultures, generations, and denominations to unite in a worship movement by merging gaps and removing all boundaries.
