Dana Strum (born Dana Strumwasser on December 13, 1957) is an American musician who is a co-founder, bass player, and one of the two primary songwriters of the US-based hard rock band Slaughter, an American Music Awards winner, formed in 1988.[1] He first achieved commercial success as a member of an ex-Kiss guitarist act, Vinnie Vincent Invasion, along with his future Slaughter bandmate Mark Slaughter.[2][3]
Based in Los Angeles, Strum has claimed responsibility for introducing the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads to Ozzy Osbourne,[4][5] as well as bringing Jake E. Lee to Ozzy's solo band following Rhoads's death.[6] Strum has worked with a number of artists and groups, playing bass, co-writing, and/or producing songs, such as The Beach Boys,[7] Détente,[8] Sweet Savage,[9] Ace Frehley,[10] Kik Tracee,[11] Dennis Bono, Vince Neil,[12] and Ozzy Osbourne,[13] among others.
