Bio
Upon entering the music scene in 2004, Patrick “D’Zasta” Dineen
always had a flare for good music—especially hip hop. As an adolescent
D’Zasta began penning impressive lyrics to various genres of music.
Regardless of the type of songs he writes, D’Zasta makes it a point to
produce meaningful music, “I always try to articulate a positive message
in my songs that can uplift a community to do better and rise above—
regardless of their current situation. I want to reach everyone from rich
kids in Beverly Hills to the kids trying to make it out of the projects in
Queens. For me, having optimism and determination to live out your dreams
is key.”
After graduating in 2007 from the Institute of Audio Research ([IAR] New
York, New York) and holding an internship at Universal Republic Records
under the supervision of Sunny Elle Lee and Andrew Kronfeld, D’Zasta took
his newly developed studio skills and began honing his love of songwriting
and production all the more. From every dimension and phase of his
productions, D’Zasta’s work shines as thorough and to an outsider he
makes the final presentation of his musical genius seem effortless.
As a multidimensional artist D’Zasta likes to keep things vibrant and
think outside the box, “It doesn't take much for me to feel motivated. I
am a naturally focused person and try to find the inspiration to take my
work to the next level.” His latest goal involves branding himself and
his artistic capabilities as an entire movement. Time and time again he has
surprised his followers with his lyrical flow and tantalizing appeal. His
fans across the world often confess that when it comes to D’Zasta, they
just can’t seem to get enough.
He attributes his passion for music to artists such as Tupac Shakur, Nas,
Busta Rhymes and the entire Bad Boy movement of the mid to late 90’s.
D’Zasta has recorded at several different studios throughout the
Tri-state area as well as countless venues throughout New Jersey, New York,
and Philadelphia. In addition to possessing a tremendous faith and stamina,
D’Zasta believes that in due time he will have an impact on the music
industry. Although a proud New Jersey native, D’Zasta currently resides
in Brooklyn, New York.
