Dakota Romero is a lifelong performer with world experience, beginning her music career in her early years of life, under the wing of her father, Native Rock recording artist, Robby Romero. Classically trained, and with a degree in music, her greatest inspiration has come from singing around the world, and the musicians she has met and performed with along the way, from Buffy Sainte-Marie to Carlos Santana. Dakota has always felt connected to her Mestizo Roots that call her; through music, song and dance, as she captures the soul of her multicultural background.

Following the death of her glamorous grandmother, Rita Rogers, Dakota recorded a haunting rendition of the traditional La Llorona, in homage to the woman who had early on inspired and encouraged her, to reach for the stars. The song (and the music video that accompanies it), is a gorgeous showcase for the depth, breadth and scope of this sensitive artist’s multi-talented vision and passionate commitment to her work.
