Known for his distinctively raspy, soothing voice, singer and songwriter Dante Bowe is a ground-breaking artist who has made history in Gospel and Contemporary Christian music. Dante received five 2022 Grammy Award nominations  and took home the award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for his work on OLD CHURCH BASEMENT by Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music.  

He also won his first Dove Award in 2021 for his #1 Billboard Gospel Airplay solo single “Joyful,” which simultaneously charted on The Christian Song Charts, bridging the gap between Gospel and CCM formats. Listen To “HIDE ME”

The chart-topping, multi-platinum selling artist is the CEO of TRUE Music and has been featured on the Tamron Hall Show, Variety, Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, Vogue.com, and BET.   With a new label and new-found strength, Dante Bowe has released a new genre-defying single and anthem, “Hide Me.”

“Hide Me was created in the middle of a storm,” says Dante.  “God revealed to me that He is in control and is the strong one in the middle of my weakness.   And, through it, I’ve found a stronger Dante!”

“Hide Me” is available now on all digital music platforms and is quickly garnering a heavy presence on Gospel and Christian radio.  Dante also released the official music video for his African and Latin-infused single.  The video recently debuted on ABC’s Good Morning America’s GMA3 program.  His performance in the video is a transparent glance into a man’s life under a tremendous divine assignment.  His lyrics identify that the enemy is a robber who wants everything.  But, under the shield of Jehovah Nissi, He will hide us and keep us safe.

Hide Me – Dante Bowe

“Hide Me” is an introduction to another solo, cross-genre album coming later this year from Dante.  PRESS PLAY is his forthcoming album on his new TRUE Music record label.

“This record was born out of prayer,” Dante, Co-Founder and CEO of TRUE Music, states, “I want this album to touch lives and bless people to the point where they can feel good again, have fun again, and feel a sense of freedom and peace.”

Grammy Award Winning and multi-platinum-selling songwriter and performer Dante Bowe will be making a network TV appearance this week. Bowe has been booked to perform on ABC’s ‘GMA3’ on Friday, January 13, 2023. He’s set to perform his new single “Hide Me” live on the program. Check local listings for air date information.

Known for his distinctive raspy beautiful voice, Dante made history last year 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. He also won his first Dove Award for “Joyful” and became the first artist to have his song chart on both Billboard’s Gospel Airplay and Christian Song Charts, bridging the gap between Gospel and CCM Formats.

Following his exit from Maverick City Music, Dante is now ready to tell his solo story and “Press Play”, which is the title of his forthcoming cross-genre album. With close to 40 million streams, listeners, and fans in 183 countries, Dante’s debut album will raise the level of authenticity in worship and cause cultures, generations, and denominations to unite in a movement by merging all boundaries.

GRAMMY award-winning collective Maverick City Music recently announced on social media they have decided to “put a pause” on their professional relationship with Dante Bowe. The collective cited “behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs” without elaborating on specifics. In their full statement, which you can read below, Maverick City asks for continued support for Dante as a brother in Christ.

Due to behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs, we have decided to put a pause on our professional relationship with Dante Bowe. Decisions like these are not easy because of the level of nuance, both professionally and personally, but we felt it necessary to address.”

Maverick City Music is a collective of various artists from many different backgrounds and life experiences; as such no one artist’s actions or behavior can always be attributed as a reflection of our core beliefs and values.

Dante is a brother in Christ and as such he has our full commitment and unwavering support as he continues to navigate his path forward. Each of us need God’s grace, and our hope is that we all pray and give him the same opportunity to grow in Christ as we give ourselves.

Coinciding with the statement from Maverick City, Dante Bowe announced plans for a social media hiatus. You can read Dante’s full post below.

In light of recent events and opinions, I’ve talked to some of the wisest leaders and brothers around me. I’ll be taking time off social media to rest mentally and physically.

Years ago, when I dreamt of all I would accomplish one day, I didn’t account for the pressure and opinions that would come with it. It’s important for everyone to know when to step back and refocus. Hope y’all understand and support. I’ll hit you up when I’m back.

Love you guys! This is for the best.

Please join us in praying for Dante and Maverick City Music during this difficult time.

From a rooftop in downtown Atlanta, 3x GRAMMY nominee Crowder and GRAMMY-winning Dante Bowe come together for the picturesque video “God Really Loves Us,” out today (8.12). Directed by Patrick Tohill, the skyline is on full display, as Crowder and Bowe’s resounding vocals float high above Atlanta while the sun sets on another day — and another opportunity to give thanks for the time we’re all given on this earth.

Hulvey, and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year + Recorded Music Packaging of the Year for his critically-acclaimed album, ‘Milk & Honey.’

Chorus
When the storm’s out on the ocean
And the violent wind gets to blowing
Oh take me back, back
All the way back
Oh take me back to my first love

Bridge
You are real to me
I’ve know it from the start
There’s in between
The Heaven’s and my heart
You are near to me
I’ve never been too far
In the in between
You brought Heaven to my heart

Tags
To the cross, To the cross
Where I first saw the light
Take me back
To the cross, to the cross
Where my Jesus died
Take me back

I’ll forever be singing
Glory to His name, precious name
Glory to His name
There to my heart was the blood of life
Glory to His name

This is not the end
This is not the end

Glory, Glory
Hallelujah

I still make my Father smile
I know You’re proud of me

Taking the idea of “prison performance” to another level, the genre-transcending, 11-track project made entirely from the grounds of a Florida prison, features Maverick City Music and Franklin recording the experience alongside more than ninety-percent of those who remain incarcerated at the location.

Premier Productions, Dante Bowe and Food for the Hungry announce the Worship Nights Tour. The tour will span eight cities and will see Bowe fresh off the What Are We Waiting For? Tour with For King & Country.

“I think this tour is going to be a special one because we’re going back to simple worship,” said Bowe. “We’re stripping away the smoke, lights and all the extra things we tend to use. Not that those things are bad, but these are going to be nights of remembrance. Remembrance of what Jesus has done and what He has yet to do.”

For his first solo headlining tour, Bowe is bringing along fellow Maverick City artist Aaron Moses and Hillsong’s Aodhan King.

Audiences can sign up for the exclusive pre-sale on Wednesday, May 18, at dantebowelive.com. Tickets go on sale to the public on Thursday, May 19th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
