X Dash was born on June 24th, 1982 in North Kansas City, Missouri. He grew up in Raymore, Missouri (a suburb of Kansas City) and attended The Barstow School (a private school on the KCMO side of the State Line).
In 1995, X Dash wrote his first rhymes and flirted with the idea of becoming a rapper. He dubbed himself "X-1" (after the plane that broke the sound barriar in 1947), and formed an experimental group with close friends Justin "10DenC" Sehorn, James Thomas, Ja'son Forte, and DJ Blotter. Rocking house parties with Sehorn's band IOTA, X-1 and the newly formed Faultline thrived on teenage angst and a love for innovative music.
In 2000, X-1 started working on a project with Don Jaun and Brion "B'ZL" Dennis for Mizery Records. That project fell through, and with a driven heart, X-1 ended up at Lock-N-Load Records/5150 Mental Production under the direction of Keith "Big Keith" Loneker, Tone Wisdom, and William "The Wierdo" Wilson.
After promoting locally for Strange Music on Tech N9ne's "Anghellic", and nationally for Tech N9ne's "Absolute Power", X-1 changed his name to X Dash and released his long anticipated first album "There Goes The Neighborhood" in Spring of 2003.
In 2004, X Dash graduated from William Jewell College with a BA in Communication.
Today, X Dash has become a growing force in the KC local scene and is currently on the grind to build his fan base and spread his name.
Recently X Dash has performed with Mystikal, Tech N9ne, 2 Live Crew, and Chingy. He has also been a part of the underground movement with several up and coming underground artists. In Fall of 2005, X Dash released his second album "WorkaholiKc" under his own Indie Label "Lost Soul". Expect his new book "The Words in My Brain and the Ink in My Veins" to drop in the Spring of 2006.
