Dada Nada

Dada Nada - House Music and Hip House act which served as the moniker for Robert Ozn (born Robert M. Rosen) after the breakup of New York art rock act EBN-OZN, an MTV darling in the mid 80s. Dada Nada had two American Billboard Top 5 Club records in 1989 and 1990: Haunted House and Deep Love, plus additional charted records in Europe particularly in the UK: GIve It All You Got, The Good Thing. Distribution: One Voice Records North America (a start up indie label owned by Ozn) and Polydor/Polygram UK/International. Producers, mixers and writers that worked with the act: Frankie Knuckles & David Morales, Mike "Hitman" Wilson, Bad Boy Bill, Steve Wight and Bob Greenberg.

Dada Nada/Robert Ozn was credited with the first House record by a white artist to chart on a major chart in the US, Haunted House (MTV News).

In particular Dada Nada was recognized for his combination of white rap and sung vocals over House tracks and even more importantly for his integration of Deep House and Acid House into a pop songwriting format.

Dada Nada toured the US in 1990 and suffered a gang related shooting in the audience during a performance in Chicago. Robert Ozn left the music business shortly thereafter.

He works in the film industry as a producer/screenwriter with three films to his credit: "I Witness" starring Jeff Daniels, James Spader, Portia de Rossi, and Clifton Collins, Jr.; "Earth's Final Hours" for The Sy Fy Channel and "Turned Towards the Sun," about British aristocrat, war hero and out bisexual Michael Burn, which premiered at the British Film Institute.

Dada Nada lives in Vancouver, Rio de Janeiro and Los Angeles.
