Dalton Portella

Dalton is an amorphous amalgamation of musical genres.

Dalton is an amorphous amalgamation of musical genres. His music will take you on a journey from Africa to Brazil, through the Middle East and end up in the deep south of America. Centered around the guitar and flanked by percussion it is groove driven and trancelike.

When Dalton left NYC to live in Montauk, he was determined to blend his expertise and experience as a successful commercial artist into his artistic talent as a painter and photographer;  to take his work both back to basics and to the next level. He experiments with various mediums; from classic oil and watercolor to fusing photography with professional digital manipulation, creating images on paper, canvas, and wood in traditional ways, and also using non-traditional surfaces such as t-shirts and surfboards.
