Dakota Pagan

I make music because it's the reason I was put on earth. I've never had any questions about that. It's what l'm meant to do" - Dakota Pagan. Many artists create to satisfy their inner desire to express their truth. Others do it purely because it's what they were born to do. Dakota Pagan falls into both categories - a St Louis-based singer-songwriter whose sacred relationship with the art form has guided his musical path to a place where originality comes first. The resulting sound lies somewhere at the intersection of R&B, Soul, and Urban Contemporary, reeling in influences from the classics but spun up with a modern twist. It's groove-forward and melody-oriented, with raw emotion at the heart of his ocean-deep compositions.
