The voice. The songs. The sound.

Dante Shivers

Dante Shivers is an American independent singer, songwriter and producer making emotionally driven music at the intersection of alternative rock, blues, folk and cinematic sound. His work starts with a story and a voice, then finds the arrangement and production that bring them into focus.

Writing since his teens, Shivers has spent more than two decades developing songs about love, loss, identity and change. Intimate performances sit alongside blues-driven rock and expansive productions, with room for desire, humor and the occasional bad decision. Each song has its own world, held together by a distinct voice and a commitment to honest storytelling.

That range comes through in “Changes,” “Jezebel,” “Poison (Hotbox’d)” and “End of All Summers.” His debut album, American Nightmare, brings these musical worlds together around one principle: serve the song, follow the emotion, and let the production carry the story.
