"Sexy. Vibrant. Cutting Edge. Moody. Mysterious. Thought provoking. I’m drawn to mysteries, information about the world, and life."
Dustin “DAB” Bowie is a Grammy Award-winning songwriter, producer, and singer whose soulful lyrics and evocative compositions have touched millions. Hailing from Decatur, Alabama, DAB has shaped the soundtracks of lives across R&B, rap, hip-hop, and country music, crafting hit songs that echo long after they’re heard. His music is a manifestation of beauty, expression, and story written from both solitude and inspiration. Now, after years of elevating other artists, he’s stepping into the spotlight with his own artist project. DAB's path is one defined by independence and unbound by limits.
An accomplished and dynamic talent, DAB has penned songs for an impressive roster of artists including Beyoncé, Lucky Daye, Kaytranada, Ari Lennox, Kehlani, Nao, Kiana Ledé, Mahalia, Lecrae, Wizkid, Kyle Dion to name a few. His musical contributions can also be heard across acclaimed film and television projects like Insecure, The Photograph, and The Chi. DAB has earned nine Grammy nominations and in 2023, took home a Grammy win for his contributions to Beyoncé's Renaissance.
DAB’s journey into music began at his grandmother’s house, where he discovered his love for melodies and rhythms. "My cousins left behind records, and I'd play them on the record player. I fell in love with the vibe, even if I couldn’t remember the words. Songs like Diamonds & Pearls ignited something in me," he recalls. That spark followed him from Decatur to Atlanta, where he met mentors like Akon and developed connections with artists like Lecrae. The biggest lesson from his early days? "Go for it." It’s advice that’s become his guiding light.
Inspired by human connection, love, and the colorful emotional spectrum that makes us who we are, DAB crafts songs that explore love, hate, and all the shades in between. His music invites listeners to believe in themselves, to create boldly, and love authentically. DAB approaches his process with an openness to the unexpected. “I start with the beats, and I let the emotions I feel, the colors I imagine, guide the lyrics,” he shares. “Sometimes a melody comes to mind, but it’s the drums, the energy of the music, that shapes where the song will go.” The vibe he curates opens a sonic portal to a captivating musical world that feels sexy, mysterious, and alive.
In September, DAB released his first single under his artist project “Fire x Fire”, an intoxicating track about the irresistible pull of attraction. Now, DAB is gearing up to release his sophomore single “RENDEZVOUS" ft. Jeffery Miller, a lush and hypnotic romantic reverie infused with sensual melodies, evocative vocals, and silky, seductive rhythms that sweep you into a world of passion and intrigue. For DAB, this is just the beginning. He's proving that true power lies not just in the music we make, but in the moment we dare to let the world hear our truth.
