After winning the Berkley College jazz competition as best drummer and musician, he released an educational DVD entitle "Dramatic". Dexter is endorsed by Paiste Cymbals and continues to share his passion and zeal for the arts via his jazz band entitled "Dexters Lab" and through his many talents and gifts of music where he continually captivates audiences young and old.

Dexter Pettaway Is dedicated to the idea that Christianity and music, two of the greatest forces in our world, can effectively merge to wash away "the dust of everyday life" from our souls.
