Dabney was born in Richmond, Virginia several months after the end of the American Civil War to former slaves John and Elizabeth Dabney.[2] His father had experience as a cook and bartender, and ran a catering business after the Civil War.[1]

Wendell Dabney was a talented musician and graduated from Richmond High School (Richmond, Virginia) in the first integrated graduation ceremony at Richmond High School.[2]{{dubious}} He then went to Oberlin College.[1] He worked as a waiter and teacher before moving to Boston where he opened a music studio. He traveled to Cincinnati in 1894, and met widow Nellie Foster Jackson, who had two sons, in Indiana. They married in 1897 and settled in Cincinatti where he opened a music studio, became involved in politics, was city paymaster, became the first president of the local chapter of the NAACP, and started the Ohio Enterprise newspaper in 1902. It eventually became The Union which he published until 1952, the year of his death.

He wrote several books and pamphlets including one about leading African Americans in Cincinatti, a biography of his close friend Maggie L. Walker (the first African American woman to own a bank), and published a collection of his newspaper writings. He also composed songs.[1]

Maggie L. Walker hired Dabney to write her biography.[4]
