Washington D.C.’s multi-hyphenate platinum artist, songwriter, and producer DB Bantino unveils “Strip Down,” a seductive new single available now through Perfect Storm.

Wrapped in a velvety melodic tone, “Strip Down” settles into a seductive haze primed for dim lights and late-night stages, where DB Bantino moves with intention and clarity, articulating precisely what he’s after. Helmed by JT Clemente (Logic, KYLE, Wiz Khalifa), the visualizer deepens that atmosphere, pairing the self-produced record with a lush, shadow-soaked color palette that mirrors its hypnotic mood.

 

 

The new single follows on the heels of “Wait Til Later,” which found the DMV native operating with renewed focus and direction. “Wait Til Later” marked the first release from DB’s forthcoming debut with Perfect Storm, pairing a catchy hook with a mindset rooted in urgency and ambition. It served as a cornerstone release, capturing a transition in DB’s journey and offering a glimpse of what’s to come.

Known for polished, forward-leaning soundscapes that merge grit, melody, and lifestyle-driven storytelling, DB Bantino has spent years writing and producing alongside artists including Chris Brown, YG, T-Pain, Future, Bryce Vine, Zoey Dollaz, Offset, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Tory Lanez, and Syd. Now stepping fully into the spotlight, his solo work delivers that same high-level craftsmanship through a voice and perspective that’s unmistakably his own.

Beyond the studio, Bantino serves as co-founder and CEO of Neverlanding, a community-focused organization empowering artists, small businesses, and youth across the DMV at the intersection of entertainment, entrepreneurship, and education. Writing and producing his own music, DB embodies the spirit of Perfect Storm, independent, driven, and poised to elevate his sound to new levels.
