About Dakota
Luke-Dakota Jeffery Massey
Alright, dig it, cats and kittens! Let's get down and funky with the story of Luke-Dakota Massey, a soul with more layers than a seven-layer dip at a cosmic picnic!
Picture this: La Luz, New Mexico, a sleepy little village where the sun bleeds across the desert like a psychedelic dream. May 21st, 1992, that's when Dakota dropped onto the scene, a tiny supernova ready to ignite. He grooves in La Luz 'til '07, then boogies on outta there, heading for the sun-drenched vibes of Sierra Vista, Arizona.

Now, this ain't your average cat. This dude was scribbling stories before he even hit double digits, channeling his inner Shakespeare at eight years old! But he kept those gems under wraps 'til 2012, when BAM! He drops "To Allison F. Frasier," a wild ride through his mind, a collection of tales, monologues, and poems, a time capsule from age eight to twenty. Talk about a literary time warp!
Music? Oh, he's got the rhythm in his bones. Tried the straight-laced piano lessons, but the vibe was off, ya dig? So he bounced. Then, outta nowhere, at fifteen, he's tickling the ivories of a busted-up family piano, and BOOM! "Broken" is born, later reborn as the soulful "Only Damaged." He's been laying down the melodies ever since, dropping his first EP, "The Ending," on SoundCloud in 2020. Now, he's got two EPs cookin' and he's bringing the heat to live shows, taking a break from the studio to set the stage on fire!

And hold up, there's more! This dude ain't just words and tunes. He's got the visual funk too! Painting? He picked it up in 2019, a hobby that turned into a full-blown love affair. Self-taught, baby! He's slingin' paint like a cosmic Jackson Pollock, learnin' as he goes, creating his own visual universe.Love? He found his groove with Travis Evans, a retired army vet, and they tied the knot in Alamogordo, NM, back in '14. A true love story with a beat.Now, Dakota's planted his roots in Grapevine, Texas, still slinging words, still making magic. He's chasing that writing dream, keepin' it real, keepin' it funky. So next time you hear a soulful melody or see a splash of vibrant color, remember the name: Luke-Dakota Massey, a true original, a cosmic blend of words, music, and paint
