DANTAYA is a Viennese hip hop producer who grew up in the 90s and was very much influenced by the classic Golden Era style.
Especially artists and artist groups like Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Nas, Pete Rock and Q-Tip influenced his young years. In early 2000, he finally began to become active as a DJ himself, and a short time later also began to record songs as an MC in the reggae/ dancehall genre.

Especially the craft of beat production was a very essential part of his musical path from the beginning and finally crystallized into his true calling.
In the mid to late 2000’s it was mainly producers like Madlib, Alchemist, Hi-Tek, J Dilla and The Roots who left particularly creative traces in his works and are acoustically perceptible in them.

Dantaya has worked in the past on collaborative projects with artists such as:
The Mind of Origin, Missin Link, Fashawn, Reks, Anita Stylez, Emiliano, 3gga and many more.
Over the past few years he has released several beat EP’s via the music platform Bandcamp (Save my Soul, So(ul) Deep, Mariposa) as well as a full album with artist Missin Link (Missin Link x Dantaya – Raw Footage) and an EP with artist Anita Stylez (Anita Stylez x Dantaya – Empathy).
