Dakoda on SoundBetter

Music enhances the emotion behind everything creative, I can help you realize that vision you have. I will help compliment your film or game with my music, I hope to breathe life into your art without being distracting.

My goal has been, and always will be, to make a difference with my music and to help people. I can compose a soundtrack for your film or game. Also I am very patient and easy to work with! Below are two demo reels of my work!

    Have nothing but respect for Dakoda's work. Fast, professional, and tries to capture the vision you have for your song. Have had several conversations with Dakoda about various song ideas and he has always been helpful

    I first approached him with a quite unfinished production, but he was able to turn my track into something else! He is very passionate about his work and very committed to lighting the way to perfection! He has a lot of experience in this field and is extremely talented. Anyone would be lucky to have Dakoda working with them!

    Had Dakoda write some eerie music for a book trailer I needed. He was very easy to work with. Understood just what I wanted. And did a great job.

    Very kind, professional and warm hearted engeneer. Took care of my song in no time. Excellent work, flawless communication. Also, i loved how he displayed every step in the mix& master, so that i could learn from it and get a clear idea of what happened in the working process.

Interview with Dakoda

  1. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  2. A: Your vision will be recognized

  3. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  5. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  6. A: Acoustic guitar, bongos or something similar, harmonica

  7. Q: How would you describe your style?

  15. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  16. A: A sense of direction when creating. I like my music to have a purpose, to tell a story.

    Never think that you have nothing to learn because there is always more to learn. Been doing a deep dive on different scales of music.
