TRD began working on new material, but as he finished a number of songs, he felt like his new music had no positive impact, he knew something had to change...

Born in Seattle Dante Dupuy TheReal D.TeL being the baby of 2 older brothers who attended a private catholic school in Tacoma, WA, Holy Rosary. Dante being the only one to move to a public school. The boys in the family always stayed up to date with the latest hip-hop music, sports and played basketball for their schools. Dante followed suit and developed a love for music and playing basketball, up until high school when an interest in music started swaying him from the sport. Beginning only with a stage microphone taped to the wall in his closet and a bedsheet as soundproofing and equipped with a music program he never before used, Dante started his music career. In 2004, his family moved to California, mainly making party music and on the occasion, a positive song or a song about God without knowing much about Him other than what he was taught in catholic school, that's when he started to reflect on his life and music catalog. Meeting his girlfriend in 2013, she challenged him on what he knew about Jesus and he truly accepted Christ. He soon came to realize that him and his family were raised on living under the old covenant of the law by working and being good to try to get God to do good instead of the new covenant, the Grace of Jesus Christ which is believing what he has already done through his death. He vowed to only release music to teach, encourage and empower people that still believe like he used to.
