  ## Early life
  
  Dentata was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She was raised in the nearby suburb of Etobicoke.
  
  ## Career
  
  Dentata started her career as a stripper, and initially performed with a metal band called Dentata. Her stage name comes from the myth of the vagina dentata, which is Latin for "toothed vagina". In 2020, Dentata became the first female artist signed to Roadrunner Records. Her debut solo album, Pantychrist, was released in 2021 to positive critical reviews.
  
  In January 2022, Dentata's legal team sent a cease and desist notice to Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, for allegedly violating copyrighted material found in the music video for pantychrist. Dentata subsequently announced she was suing Hill for the Montero promotion.
