Behind the artist name stay away from dante! (Dante to those close to him) is the young Amsterdam musician, singer, and rapper Emmanuel Boateng. Dante taught himself to play piano and guitar at a young age and made his debut in 2022 with the tracks *In Je Eyes* and *Amethyst Ring*. His trademark: quirky, dreamy hip-hop that doesn't sound like hip-hop. During his show, Dante takes the audience into his imaginative world full of stories, genres, and surprises. At Popronde 2025 and Eurosonic Noorderslag 2026, he already showed that he can take over any stage!
