Hailing from the Garden State, it’s only right New Jersey’s own FirstNameDane is the self-proclaimed "Late Bloomer". "I want to be the example of perseverance. Not everyone figures their path early in life and that's okay." he states. His production is grand; Punching 808s; Anthem-making synthesizers; and Sing-along worthy melodies. When stripped down to the lyrics, Dane is painstakingly self aware. "A First verse is like church, Easter eggs if you search," Dane raps on 2020 single, "Gas". The current theme for FirstNameDane is either restoration, activation or both, but regarding The Late Bloomer, whether he’s reconstructed or a totally new version, Dane’s voice is alive.
