Ross ( aka Revel Rosz) was raised between the societal desolation of the American Southwest and the death-rattle of the "new-age" movement. The likes of Robert Anton Wilson, Marilyn Ferguson and Timothy Leary (as well as various other counter-culture luminaries) loomed large, both physically and ideologically, in his youth.
Ross began self-releasing music via MP3.com at the ripe age of 13 as DAKOTA SLIM - beginning his work as an amateur audiomancer, while writing semi-professionally for a local newspaper and devouring esoteric knowledge. This is the creative contrast that defines him:. The confluence of Magick and occult practices and an unrelenting artistic process has given him a fervent body of work.
His musical project DAKOTA SLIM just released a new album, CACTUS CROWN, in 2018.
He founded WE, THE HALLOWED (a conceptual art collective) to facilitate a community of disparate artists, across varied mediums, to realize and share art.
