Born on Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota in January of 1980 to Air Force parents, Dustin (a.k.a. Drop D) has Blackfoot Indian in his heritage and remains intrigued by Native American culture and hopes to one day visit the Black Hills where he was born. He also has African American, and several shades of Caucasian ancestry. This is where Diverse Music. net originates! Dustin has also lived in southern Illinois and Roswell, Georgia before moving to Tampa, Florida in 1991, where he still lives at present.

A wide variety of music was always a big part of his life – especially the classic and progressive Rock, Funk, and Jazz that his parents frequently listened to. Dustin first played saxophone in school in the '80s, was denied the pursuit of percussion instruments by his mother, but started playing guitar and bass as a rebellious teenager in the '90s. By this time, he was a big fan of Trent Reznor (a.k.a. Nine Inch Nails) and was obsessed with the innovative techniques of his favorite '90s musicians.

Because of his deep attraction to all kinds of artistic expression, he began making beats and mixing tracks. He formed the band that came to be known as Neihohdeius in 2001. In 2005 he won Battle of the Bands Best Bassist in Florida with his band Inviolet. In 2006 he produced four Tampa Wicked albums, one Psycho Jesus album, played bass in the band Psudonym and began designing and marketing band merchandise. In 2007 he became focused on video editing, making a label, and now continues to explore new opportunities for merchandising in his ongoing mission of becoming an independent musician and producer. For 2008 he plans to tour, release more albums, videos, and a label for merchandising!
