Dakota Booking Agency Profile

Book Dakota for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Singer Sophie Elton, better known by her stage name, Dakota, is based in the capital city of the United Kingdom. Her most notable performance was on Jonas Blue's 2015 cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car," which was first released in 1988. In 2015, Jonas Blue released a tropical house cover of "Fast Car" featuring Dakota for the first time. The song reached number two on the U.K. Singles Chart, only one spot behind Zayn Malik's "Pillowtalk." Its peak in the United Kingdom meant that it charted higher than Chapman's original, which reached its highest position on the chart in May 1988 at number five and reached an even greater position when it was re-released in April 2011 at number one. It also lasted in the top 10 in the United Kingdom for a total of 11 weeks. The version performed by Jonas Blue and Dakota climbed to the top of the iTunes list in Germany, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. It also topped the viral chart in the United States on Spotify, where it hit the number one slot. Platinum certifications have been awarded to the single in Italy and the United Kingdom, as well as two platinum certifications in New Zealand and three platinum certifications in Australia. Up to this point, the song has been played more than 537 million times on Spotify, and it has been viewed more than 199 million times on Vevo..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Dakota to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Dakota in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Dakota or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Dakota's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Dakota for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Dakota, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Dakota. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Dakota booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Dakota for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Dakota booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Dakota charge for an event. An example fee to book Dakota is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Dakota agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Dakota manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Dakota for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Dakota agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Dakota, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Dakota booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Dakota, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
