dante's history in a nutshell.

○ born 1983, febuary fourteenth to a family of three.

○ 1985-1989, dante shows a large amount of interest in music and instruments, especially guitars.

○ early 1990, dante convinces his parents to enrol him into guitar classes. by late 1990, almost 1991, his parents and older brother give him his first acoustic guitar.

○ by the end of 1992, he was performing little shows to his family members at get together's what he could accomplish on his guitar, what songs he'd been able to master. right around that time, his father started to introduce him and his brother more to his genre of music, and metallica highly influenced dante to play more.

○ 1996 is when blue blood was formed. because him and his fellow band members were only thirteen and fourteen, the music wasn't the greatest if they tried to write anything themselves, but their covers had potential. unfortunately, because of the fact that they were so young, and about to go into high school, things fell threw near the end of the summer and they slowly stopped contact with each other after graduation.

○ 1998, dante begins his first serious relationship with a girl named silver flynn. she becomes highly involved with his music aspirations, and takes up the drummer role of his new project idea 'flawless defect.' when having her in the band started to cause problems later on in the end of 1998's school year, she switched from drumming to helping the band with their gig dates and attempted recordings.

○ middle of 1999, dante and silver break up after she decides she's too good for him and what she's helped him get off the ground. it shakes him so much that the band's put on hold, and dante started refusing to play music. by the end of 1999, he had just started to get over her sudden change of mind, and was finally starting to give into his best friends' hounding to pick up his guitar again.

○ the band changed their front man and drummer by the end of 2000, both due to conflicting issues dealing with narcotics and priorities. dante's brother joins with one of his best friends to take up the two empty slots, and they begin writing new music almost immediately.

○ 2001, the band's bass player moves into dante's household. a few weeks into the new addition, dante's father starts to consume more alcohol, and begins to lose his patience with the extra mouth to feed and shelter. when an altercation arouse, and his best friend was pushed against the wall by his father, dante stepped between the two to try and end it. in fear for her son, dante's mother tried to urge his father to calm down, but instead only provoked him to lash out at him.

as soon as his mother was struck, dante lost all control of himself and put his father threw his great grandmother's china cabinet. the police were called, and his father was escorted to the hospital for stitches, and then to be released anywhere but their side of housing.

his family grew closer from his father's rash actions, luckily.

○ early 2003, the band's approached by a woman who's willing to finance them better and get them a name for themselves. their gigs become better, wealthier, and the beginning of their fandom starts to grow. after graduation, they had already been asked by two different label record companies to sign with them. they went with the one more focused about the music, rather than the money, and kissed their boring teenage lives goodbye.

○ late 2003-2010, he travelled with the band in order to produce their first actual album, and took up a life where ever the money was good. he survived countless tour venues along the way in his travels, and tried to concur his fear of flying. the band's popularity and fame grew, along with their fanbase and loyalty. the band only took two years off in the time they spent out of their hometown.

○ in the middle of 2010, dante's mother passes away from a heartattack. after cutting tour short to come back home to properly say goodbye, the band decides to take a few years off to regain themselves and write new material. after some papers are signed and everyone's aware that dante and the band need a break to get over their losses, they returned home.
