This week on Bollotta-FIDE your host Anthony and Alex are joined by singer songwriter Dakota W. Ringer. Born and raised in the East County of San Diego, Dakota started off the way a lot of artists did, at his church! His first performance was with the children’s choir at five years old where he immediately fell in love with singing. He took that taste and continued on to try every performance outlet the church had to offer, including the adult choir, youth theatre, and eventually the church orchestra. Simultaneously his parents began taking him to piano lessons and, despite the weekly objections, was fed music theory. With this basis in piano, he began to teach himself whatever he had around. The orchestra taught him mallet percussion and drums, while he taught himself guitar on the side during his breaks at Coronado School of Performing Arts! He was accepted into the musical theatre department his freshman year of high School and studied some facet of Theatre every day. But at his lunch breaks he would go jam with the guys in the music department! He developed a need to be in a rock band and joined his first one at 16 years old where he got his first shot at songwriting and composing.
