Damon Anthony Dash (born May 3, 1971) is an American entrepreneur, record executive, film producer, and actor.
Dash is best known as co-founder of Roc-A-Fella, as well as Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and Kareem "Biggs" Burke.
Early life
Dash, a native of New York City, swept the floors of a local barbershop and sold newspapers in order to purchase sneakers and shirts as a child. Dash "learned to hustle" in his own words, based on his mother, who died of an asthma attack when he was 15 years old. Dash was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes the same year. "Before being hospitalized, I was diagnosed..." "I went to the toilet non-stop and losing weight," Dash remembered about a month or two. "Magic Johnson was only diagnosed with AIDS, so here's what I felt like." I was afraid to go to the hospital even though it was urgent. "I was going to die."
Personal life
Dash met R&B singer Aaliyah in New York City in the summer of 2000 through her handler, and the two girls were dated to her death in The Bahamas on August 25, 2001. Although they were not officially engaged, Dash said in interviews after Aaliyah's death that the couple did not intend to marry.
Dash married fashion designer Rachel Roy, whom he had known before his Aaliyah liaison. They first met when she was working as an intern at Rocawear. They have two children, Ava Dash (born December 7, 1999) and Tallulah Dash (born May 14, 2008). They had a tense custody dispute following their divorce in 2009.
Dash has a son, Dame "Boogie" Dash (born November 28, 1991), who lives with former girlfriend Linda Williams. Boogie appears on the reality television show Growing Up Hip Hop. Lucky is his older brother who was born in 2004 with Cindy Morales.
Dusko Dash, Dash's son, was born on November 14, 2020, and he and his fiancée Raquel Horn.
Career
In 1999, Dash was Jay-Z's boss and business partner at Roc-A-Fella Records, and he arranged a tour for Jay-Z, which cost $19 million. As a result of two separate events, their friendship soured. The first was when Def Jam Recordings (which had previously owned half of the company) purchased Roc-A-Fella Records, which then decided to pursue Def Jam Recordings in 2004, after which Jay-Z agreed to serve as the company's president. In late 2005, Jay-Z bought Dash out of his interest in Rocawear.
Dash is associated with Blind Debit, Dez White's fingerprint payment service.
Dash founded DD172, a media collective that includes: America Nu, a magazine; VNGRD79, a web design company; and BluRoc Records, a record label division. It also includes an art gallery.
