As the show act of the evening, the American Dante Thomas heated up the crowd at the “Night of Reality Stars” charity gala on Berlin’s Kudamm. In the early 2000s he had a No. 1 hit with “Miss California,” which made him internationally known. He also performed his hit from 2001 in Berlin. Dante Thomas says in an interview: “I’m doing wonderfully. I’m still touring after all these years. I still sing and make music and sometimes take part in events like this here.”

By the way, his homeland is no longer just California, but also Germany. Dante: “I lived in Saarbrücken and I have a house in America. And now I have a home here again, but I keep this place a little private because some curious fans always come there.” Dante also started a family in Germany; his children (9 and 10 years old) live here. He reveals: “They were both born here in Germany. My daughter in St. Wendel and my son was born in Saarbrücken. My roots are now in Germany forever.”

But there was also a deep fall in his life. He once said in an interview that he had taken every common drug except heroin. Today he explains: “The most important thing is probably two things. That when you fall, you get back up. And the second thing that I had to learn, which took a lot of time, is that of all the dreams you pursue in life, only pursue the dreams that bring you home. He stays fit and healthy through exercise and diet. Dante: “I run about 20 miles a week, do about 200 push-ups a day… stay away from bread and sugar. I eat a lot of nuts and proteins, fish, chicken, beef and salads, vegetables and stuff. I just mean, I watch what I eat. That’s all.”
