Dante Pettus — “the boom bap doctor”

About

Dante Pettus is a music producer and sound designer whose craft runs the full life of a record — from the first sample pulled to the stereo master delivered. A Temple schoolmate of founder Brian C. Coleman for close to twenty years, Dante came into OGB Productions the way the company itself was built: on a real relationship, not a résumé.

As a founding member he helps establish the company’s sonic identity and creative direction, and serves as a core creative collaborator across the Da Good Book project family and OGB client productions. If it sounds like OGB, Dante’s ears have been on it.

The Craft

Production

Full-lifecycle record production: sample selection, arrangement, recording, final mix

The Work

Da Good Book

Core collaborator on the Da Good Book project family — production, arrangement, and catalog continuity across releases, alongside Brian and Brian Jr.

Client Productions

Production services on paid OGB client projects — the same ears, the same standard, brought to work the company is hired to make.

The Merch Lane

Dante owns OGB’s merchandise lane end-to-end — design, local sourcing and prototyping, and distribution — with the company feeding client work into the lane.
