About Me

Attn: Please first send me a message before you friend request.
Hey, my name is Dakota Sottosanto. I just moved back to Southern California. I have been living up in Santa Cruz for the past 5 years, but the time has come to head back south where I was raised. Not sure what exactly will happen next in my life, but you never know what tommorrow will bring. I was working as a concert promoter and at a Teen Center in Santa Cruz but now I am mostly working as a D.J. However, I am on the look out for a new job.
I graduated college at UC Santa Cruz with a double major in Psychology and Sociology maybe in hopes to have a positive effect on people and society. One day I plan on going to graduate school to get my masters/PhD, but I'm not in a hurry. I like to travel. I have already been to Jamaica, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Australia, and the Dominican Republic. I think South east Asia i next on the list. I also have traveled across the USA several times.
I love music and have played in many bands. Right now I play bass in The MOPIC and Kadens. I also like skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, soccer, Basketball, Unicycling, Bike Riding, Swing dancing, Skim Boarding etc.
I am a Christian. I am Italian and Irish mostly. I have blue eyes and am 6 foot one. I go to many concerts and I love movies. I have a pierced lip and tattoos. I play bass and drums and am learning guitar as well as other musical instruments.
I use to DJ on the radio for a while, but not any more. However, if you want me to DJ your parties, Weddings, Clubs, Dances or other Events I am a DJ for Hire. I have Flexible Rates. I can do almost any genre of music – You Decide. Prefer: Reggae, Dancehall, 80’s, Ska, Hip Hop, Punk, Pop, Top 40's, Rock, Psychobilly, Hardcore, Metal, and swing.I can provide all needed equipment.

My Interests

I would like to start an all ages venue/club that provides a fun positive atmosphere for teens and young adults to enjoy live music, dancing, play pool, internet cafe, non alcoholic drinks, food, video game tournamnets etc. Just trying to learn and meet the right people. Let me know if you have ideas or can help. I already have a good amount of experience, but could use help.

I'd like to meet:

If you add me as a friend, please send a message as well. Otherwise I will most likely deny your request.

Whoever, I am always down to meet new people. I prefer face to face interactions so let me know if you ever want to hang out or if there is anything cool going on like a show or something. Some people say I have too many friends on myspace, but I actually do know a lot of people. Plus myspace is great place to meet new people, network, findout, and promote concerts and events. I also think the cool thing about myspace is you can meet people you normally wouldn't. I actually went to Argentina and met people face to face who I only knew from myspace.
