Dakota Rhodes on SoundBetter

Blending industry experience with a love for storytelling, I create music that artists can feel proud of. I provide vocals, songwriting, and production that turn ideas into streaming success! With millions of streams and a passion for crafting authentic music that stands out and connects, I’m dedicated to bringing your vision to life.

I am a 28 year old singer/songwriter/producer. I have worked with various artists like Josh Farro of Paramore as well as other Grammy nominated artists. Playing various instruments including the guitar, piano and bass, has landed me a sponsorship with Ernie Ball and becoming a Keyser Musical Products Next 40 Artist.

I've been widely known on YouTube for my cover songs for many years, grabbing the attention of multiple artists from Taylor Swift to 5 Seconds of Summer, and even Shania Twain and landed an original song on Radio Disney in 2018. Major label executives have been impressed with my songwriting skills, calling it "impeccable," and have compared my craft to the standard and likeness of Taylor Swift.

Songwriting is my passion, and I love to help other artists cultivate their own unique sound in their music, as well as provide assistance with lyricism to articulate their stories and emotions in an authentic, impactful way. I have written, produced, and sung over 500 songs for Songfinch alone and have confidence in my abilities to deliver high quality, polished recordings and thoughtfully crafted lyrics that exceed expectations. I always take pride in creating a final product both myself and the artist can feel genuinely proud of.
