Hailing from the sun-soaked shores of St. Augustine, Florida, 904DadLife is an artist whose music is rooted in love, family, and a lifelong passion for sound. Born and raised in Florida, his identity as a Floridian runs deep—not just geographically, but emotionally—shaping both his creative voice and his approach to storytelling.
At the heart of 904DadLife’s journey is family. He has been married to his wife, Aimee, for 13 years, and together they are raising their two children, Bohdi and Cece. Being a husband and father isn’t just a part of his life—it’s a major source of inspiration that fuels his songwriting and gives his music an authentic, lived-in feel.
His path into songwriting began simply, driven by a genuine love of music. Over time, that love evolved into a craft, and eventually into a defining strength: the ability to write across all genres. This versatility allows 904DadLife to move freely between styles, moods, and themes, making his catalog as diverse as it is personal. While he primarily works as a songwriter, he often collaborates with ghost singers, keeping the focus on the writing and the message rather than the spotlight.

One of his most meaningful accomplishments is an original song written for his wife titled “Let’s Quit Talking.” The track stands as a deeply personal milestone—proof that his songwriting isn’t just creative expression, but a reflection of real relationships and real emotion.
Recently, 904DadLife added a festive chapter to his discography with the release of a full Christmas album titled “Palm Tree Jingles.” Blending holiday spirit with a Florida twist, the album showcases his ability to reimagine traditional sounds through his own unique lens.
Beyond music, there’s more to 904DadLife than many might expect. An interesting fact that often surprises listeners is that he is also a published author. Writing under the name Dean Befort, his books offer yet another outlet for his storytelling instincts, proving that creativity for him extends well beyond melody and lyrics.
Grounded in family, inspired by love, and driven by a passion for music and words, 904DadLife continues to carve out a creative path that is both authentic and refreshingly versatile.
