Dakota Bradley

Country singer and songwriter Dakota Bradley grew up in St. Louis, and his first love as a child was sports, but all of that changed when he was 12 years old and picked up a guitar for the first time. By the age of 16 he had a manager in Nashville, and had placed a video of a song on YouTube, where it was spotted by the producers of Ellen DeGeneres' television show and Bradley was invited to perform for her audience. His career now off and running, even though he was not yet even 18 years old, Bradley was approached by Tim McGraw's producer Byron Gallimore, who eventually signed Bradley to a recording deal. A debut single, "Somethin' Like Somethin'," appeared in the spring of 2013. ~ Steve Leggett
