Cleveland, Ohio in Grandma's kitchen is where it all began. The clashing of pots and pans being cleaned, dried, put away under the sink only to be ransacked and set up like drums by a 2-year-old toddler. Reaching into the first drawer to the right of the sink to find a pair of wooden spoons and Voila, a musician is Born.

Dame Drummer hails from a musical family. His Grandfather ​Chink Stevenson​​, the musical patriarch of the family, is a "who's who" A-lister and a "Cleveland Jazz Legend" award winner for his contributions on the upright bass. At the age o 5 Dame’s family purchased him a set of drums but within his first few weeks of practice his drum teacher was killed in their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Dame didn't stop. His dad gave him the hottest albums that were out at the time: Prince's "Purple Rain" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller". His father's instructions were simple, "Play these". The family learned that Dame could listen and regurgitate exactly what he heard. He had "THE POCKET". Dame spent most of his free time on the drums playing and singing to his favorite tunes.

In 2008 in order to focus more on production, He formed Sweaty Llama Music and in 2009 as the CEO landed full production credit on Predestined Muzic's "Predestined" and Sylvia Benford's "​It's in the Praise​​" in
