Born with music coursing through his veins from a great grandmother who played piano and organ during the silent movie era (as well as World War I fight songs), Dan Frost (a.k.a. d*fRost) has been playing music in one form or another since taking his first breath.  With his first instruments being violin, piano and trombone, D. has since branched out to learn and play all the instruments in the Rock 'n' Roll family tree to include drums, bass, guitar, harmonica, moog, theremin, and of course piano & organ.  He has six full studio albums of all original material to his name (under his artist name d*fRost), four out of San Diego, one out of Japan and his most recent out of Nashville, TN.

He fronted his namesake band, d*fRost, out of San Diego, CA for 15 years and was considered one of the the music scene's top "go to" acts for national touring and recording artist live support.  During his time in S.D., he and his five piece band opened for musical juggernauts such as 311, Slightly Stoopid, The Black Crowes, Snoop Dogg, BuckCherry, The Roots, Unwritten Law, Guttermouth and Social Distortion.  In the 2000's and amongst the weighty who's who crowd of the San Diego music scene, he was nominated for four San Diego Music Awards and brought home two for best album and best live band.  He was initially signed to the independent record label DOM Records and later went on to put out his second album with the larger and more established San Diego indie label, One Dop Entertainment.  During his San Diego tour of duty, he was also fortunate enough to tour Japan and had the absolute honor to play New York City's punk Mecca C.B.G.B.'s for a major label showcase literally one month to the day before America's tragedy of 9/11.

Prior to his Southern California days, he was neck deep in the alternative music explosion out of Minneapolis, MN playing all the Twin Cities premiere and dive bar venues with multiple bands (Jackass and 13 Grand).  He has had the good fortune to play everywhere from the 7th Street Entry and First Avenue to the 400 Bar, The Fine Line, The Cabooze and Lee's Liquor Lounge ensuring his tour of the Minneapolis Rock Scene was thorough and complete. 

He has since called the modern musical megalopolis "It-City" of Nashville, TN home for the last 13 years; this time as bandleader for the world famous "Nashville Burlesque" troupe led by the legendary and ultra-glamorous burlesque industry Queenpin, Miss Shannon Million.

D. views his recently announced position at Vision Studios and Raise the Sky Records with respect and reverence and as the logical next step for a life spent in pursuit of elevating the artform of music.  He also thrives on seeing all those involved with our sacred artform elevated as well.  He brings a keen, laser focused awareness of ensuring the big picture is realized while meticulously paying heed to the myriad of finer details that must be attended to and respected to ensure all projects are as successful as possible.  He brings his years of front-line live performance, studio recording and album/touring experiences as well as the hard won life experience of having lived in three musically diverse, major American cities with thriving music scenes, back to his small but mighty birth town of Mankato, MN to assist and lead his staff to their ultimate goal in this magical musical process, to RAISE THE SKY!
