Dani Thompson, the founder and CEO of DNT Entertainment, and a hard-working mother, brings deserving artists to the limelight.
Hard work encompasses all other challenges in life. Diligence, talent and dexterity to execute a process are all one needs to achieve success in life. In the music industry, there’s still a myth about independent artists not being as famous as they can be without big labels. Dani Thompson and DNT Entertainment are here to debunk that lore. She has a daring persona as she quit her six-figure job in the health and fitness industry to pursue her dream of “working for herself” and live the daydream.
This charismatic woman founded her company DNT Entertainment which discovers and uplifts budding artists in the music industry. Her company helps independent artists thrive through their unparalleled talent and is the brand that uses its expertise to help them make a distinct name in the industry without being attached to a major label. Independent artists often underestimate themselves, but their talent is the most worthy of being in the limelight. DNT Entertainment emphasizes that fact, and the founder herself comes from a musical background, which makes her the perfect squire for them.
Creating The Buzz For Talented Artists
Dani herself got her start in the music industry as a lead singer for a promo band for Fender’s Kids Rock Free® Music School called “The Fender Bender’s” in the early 2000’s. Her band performed at many fundraiser shows from 2002-2005 at the Fender Museum in Corona, CA..
They’ve also opened for world-renowned artists like Paul Rogers and Bad Company, The Steve Miller Band, Lit, Etta James, and more. She was exposed to the beauty of music from a young age as her father was on the board of KRF and her mother volunteered a lot of time to the program.
Fuelling The Careers Of Many For Success
Dani has helped many social influencers and artists over the past decade, and has worked with many prominent personalities. She’s a talented person with many hidden talents, as such she has performed various roles such as: artist management, A&R, artist development, marketing, photography, music video production, music publicity, consulting, live event production, social content creation, booking, and mentoring aspiring artists and their families.
The list of people she’s worked with is even more impressive. Some key clients are: Macy Kate (Rising Star), Flo Rida, Zhavia Ward (The Four), Iggy Azalea, Adeliz, Dean Lewis, Kurt Hugo Schneider, Sam Tsui, Brian King Joseph (Season 13 America’s Got Talent Finalist), Evelyn Cormier (Season 17 American Idol), Ethan Sak, DJ Baby Chino, Jason Farol (Duets), Lauren Black, Emilia Vaughn, Tayler Jade, Savannah Young, and many more.

Work harder! You can be anything you want to be if you put in the work! EFFORT = SUCCESS. See you at the TOP!”
