Rapper/Vocalist/Videographer/Entrepreneur, Anthony D was born Anthony Darst in Minneapolis MN, 1985. He grew up influenced by a variety of artists and genres ranging from John Coltrane and Motown Funk, to Phil Collins, 2Pac, DMX, Bone Thugs, Snoop and many more .

Early on, he started creating his own lyrics and freestyles, chasing his dreams as an entrepreneur. Channeling deep and creative ways to express himself through poetic punch-lines and and incorporating the witty style he admires from Eminem, Anthony D is known to have much more meaning to his music and videos combined.

Anthony D, the owner of IAmAnthonyD (MagicFilmMaker) (a professional video company), also a videographer & DJ. Expressing his creativity through video and music allows him to hit his projects from both sides. “Reverse” for instance, is a song he did and the entire video is in reverse, literally. He later explained that he actually filmed and edited the entire video before even writing the song just so he could capture the concept “for those crazy enough to figure it out” he says of the video “Cindy” where the heavy-hitting beat is accompanied by lyrics and a wicked video of his version of Cinderella or “Cindy” for short.

You will find a wide variety of music that he creates from slow and smooth to island vibes or even a stadium anthem, like the Christmas song he did for the MN Vikings, in that video “All I Want For Christmas” he becomes Santa and has a Lamborghini as his sleigh.

Anthony D will not disappoint.
