About Dante Cimadamore
Dante Michael Cimadamore, born May 23, 1984, is an American musician, writer, drummer and YouTuber (known as Give Me Motion) who has been a member of the Epic Rap Battles of History crew since Season 1. Along with Zach Sherwin, he is one of two people other than Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD who have participated in every ERB season. He currently serves as a Music Supervisor, Editor, Staff Writer and Audio Engineer. He has appeared physically or vocally in at least 13 times and received at least 48 writing credits. He drops hints very often about upcoming ERB episodes via Twitter and is a member of the fan Epic Rap Battles of History wiki.
Dante was a friend of Nice Peter even before the creation of Epic Rap Battles – in fact, he was the first person Peter ever wrote music with and Dante was the first to expose the music studio to him. He has appeared 13 times in ERB episodes, credited as “Dante Motion”, “Tesla D”, “DJ Dante” and “King Supreme”. Together with Peter, Lloyd, Zach and Mike Betette, Dante won the award for Best Writing at the 4th Streamy Awards of 2014, and were nominated at the 5th and 6th ceremonies in 2015 and 2016.
Outside of ERB, Dante runs his own YouTube channel – mostly music and vlog content – that maintains 59,000 subscribers. He has also participated in EpicLLOYD’s Dis Raps For Hire series and is a self proclaimed ‘song maker (and) sun bather’.
