Coastal Country gem, Dakota East, is fast becoming one of Australia's hottest new acts. Born in Canada the now Melbourne based artist attributes the roots of her unique style to her upbringing in Canada where she lived in a small island log cabin in the middle of a secluded lake in Ontario's shield country. Her debut single, "Runaway," with it’s slick production mixing shimmery Electric Guitars and atmospheric Pedal Steel, took the airwaves by storm, amassing over 400,000 streams and earning spots on official Spotify + Apple Music playlists. Following this the songwriter began making inroads in the live circuit with her powerful voice and genre bending sound, scoring support slots for Shannon Noll, Travis Collins, Jon Stevens, Joe Camilleri. With the mission of staying true to the raw musical emotion of her original influences but also forging ahead into the evolving landscape of country music, Dakota East emerges as a stand out talent and is poised for big things.
