Ai Generated Banger (Well a cover of a banger, so a banger squared. )

Tool - The Pot (Lovelace Edition)

MY THERAPY. WHEN I'M NOT IN A GOOD HEADSPACE, I WRITE ABOUT IT. MISERY AND ADVERSITY MAKE FOR THE BEST INSPIRATIONS SOMETIMES. INFLUENCED BY STAIND, ALICE IN CHAINS, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, METALLICA, AND TOOL... THIS MUSIC IS ANGRY, AGRESSIVE, YET EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL.

"DA' Black Sheep" Dan Acosta is the epitome of the "Do It Yourself" (DIY) artist/performer. With many years of touring and performing experience, he has been paying his dues and pouring his blood, sweat, and sometimes tears, into his Performances, Record Label, Multimedia Business (GDA Media Group, LLC), and his many other passions (Songwriting, Graphic Design, Photography, and Professional Wrestling). He is always involved in the local community, taking part in numerous charity events every year. Anyone who knows "The Red & Black" knows that DA' Black Sheep is one of the most dedicated, hard-working performers around. 

With catchy hooks and a simple "in your face" approach to his music, Dan’s songwriting keeps things pure and simple, while tugging on the human heart to make his songs unforgettable to his listeners. He writes from his own life experiences and tries to relate to each fan through every song - sharing his true feelings and perspectives with them. Across the board, you can feel the emotion and sincerity showcased by his strong songwriting abilities, and his passionate vocal deliveries. DA' Black Sheep is legitimately the quintessential "rock star” for the people. 

Dan also set out to live another one of his childhood dreams, brought about through his dedication to his music - professional wrestling. In March of 2012, he began training to become a professional wrestler, with a school called RingSide Pro-Wrestling, and really solidified himself as "DA' Black Sheep" in the ring as well, using that as his wrestling name - he based his in-ring persona as an extension of who he is, making it more "over-the-top" as his character & gimmick. It all began with Dan writing entrance theme music for some wrestlers he had become friends with most notably former Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star Mikey Whipwreck. Whipwreck used Dan's music all throughout the local Indy leagues when he wrestled with a clique known as "The Order Of The Black", along with Dan's other friends, Jeff "Rocky" Hahn (formerly known as "Bad Boy Rocky Shore in WWE), and Louie Fabiano (formerly known as "The NY Brawler" & "Sheik Mohamed Hussein" in WWE & WCW, as well as in Puerto Rico and worldwide), who use another one of Dan's songs when they wrestle for East Coast Pro Wrestling (ECPW), a company Dan himself wrestled for for 12+ years on the East Coast circuit. That opportunity is how Dan was able to segue into the world of professional wrestling and start training under the tutelage of Jeff Hahn. 

As you can see, "DA' Black Sheep" has his hands into just about every aspect of entertainment. He made the leap into "reality television" work, as well as on "the big screen" in movies, television, and he's always looking for new & exciting opportunities. Orange Is The New Black, Ink Master (several episodes & seasons), Ink Master Redemption, Impractical Jokers, Cymbeline (movie), Blue Bloods (TV Series)... the list just keeps growing.

"DA' Black Sheep" Dan Acosta is definitely an "outside the box" thinker, when it comes to the longevity of his career. If you don't already know his name and reputation, definitely look him up and see what you've been missing. This why he's earned the hashtags

*Dan Acosta is also the proud owner of GDA Media Group, LLC - a Multimedia Company & Record Label, now handling all of his recordings/mixes/production work, music videos, bookings, promoting, merchandise designs/printing, keeping everything "in-house" due to years of trusting the wrong people in this business & learning some tough lessons along the way. Registered recently in 2025 in South Carolina, this is giving Dan more control over his career & music, while allowing him to help other Indy Artists avoid a lot of the obstacles he's faced over the years.
