Biography from TheMovieDB

Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in the early 1980s, Gato Da Bato (which means "sweet as a cake"), like many locals, fled the authoritarian regime to settle in Miami, Florida, and give substance to the " American dream ". From his real name Daniel Toussaint, he begins to make people talk about him through various musical projects and overcomes his stuttering in an incisive flow which is expressed on his first mixtapes, mixing lyrics in French, English and Creole. He is one of the members of Booba's 92i collective.  It was revealed to the general public in 2010 thanks to the single "Nu Lajan" featuring the French rapper Booba. The latter invites him several times on his tours and allows him to increase his notoriety. In 2011, he was entitled to a solo track on an album by his mentor Booba, who continued to support him and notably allowed him to connect artists such as Rick Ross or 2 Chainz. In 2013, Gato Da Bato published an 11-track mixtape entitled Zoé land - Tout est noir, then strengthened his French notoriety in 2014 with the single "H*M*K" and in 2015 with "Roulé Fort" with Booba. He then collaborated again with the "Duke" but also Damso or Kalash. In 2019, it is with the title "Haï" that Gato Da Bato shines again in the charts, and reinforces his status as an ambassador of Haiti.  On November 3, 2022, he released the mixtape Diego Soda composed of 4 tracks, including the track "Morocco" featuring Booba.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
