Dakota Leigh DeMartino was born and raised in Jersey City, NJ. In 2014, she moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music. In 2020, Dakota became a full-time musician, performing regularly on Broadway in Nashville, hitting the stages at Tootsies, Ole Red, Kid Rock's, Whiskey Bent Saloon, the Second Fiddle, Tin Roof, and Redneck Riviera.
Growing up on Oldies, DooWop, and classic rock, Dakota Leigh's passion and sound will bring you back in time... with a set list ranging from The Ronettes, Cher, and The Supremes, to Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, and Journey. You can look forward to a show filled with the best tunes of the 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond.
In May of 2022, Dakota moved back home to New Jersey to continue her music career. She currently has five singles out on streaming platforms, and is booked with dates into the end of 2025 and onward.
