Producer, Song Writer, Engineer
Dennis Dotson, born in Dallas, Texas on May 30, 1982, better known as Dirty Hollywood, is an American urban music producer and audio engineer specializing in Hip Hop, R&B, and Pop genres. Dotson is also the CEO of Beta Ent Publishing and the President of Secret Soldier Entertainment.
Early Life
As a child, Dennis Dotson grew up like many boys in his neighborhood, not enough money to invest in a new pair of shoes. After hearing LL Cool J say, “I’m Bad”, he developed an interest in Hip Hop music. Dotson was highly influenced by artists like Run DMC. As he got older, his interest for creating, writing, and producing began to shine above being the next greatest rapper. He attended Cedar Valley College and Northwood University for 2 years before departing to pursue his dream as an entrepreneur.
Production Career
Dennis began producing for local talent in Dallas in early 2000. This production would quickly earn him a spot making music for television and film for a well-known production company in Dallas that allowed him to meet several instrumental people for his future. His production would soon tickle the ears of several publishers and music makers from Nashville, Tennessee who later extended an offer that would assist in placement for his creative property. After showing the world, that he was ready to be heard as a quadruple threat (artist, producer, songwriter, and engineer), he strategically earned the name Dirty Hollywood.
