Career[]
2002-2006: Dakota starts acting[]
When Dakota was 4 years old, his parents allowed him to begin auditioning for different roles. He did not recieve any until 2003 where he guest starred as a little boy in "7th Heaven." Dakota continued to recieve guest starring roles or background roles. Although Roberts did not recieve big roles, he was completely fine with it because he just loved acting!
2007-2012: Salamander's Creek and guitar[]
At 8 years old, Dakota recieved a main role on the Discovery Kids series, "Salamander's Creek," a show about teens who run a habbitat for endangered amphibians and reptiles. Roberts played the role of Micah, the little brother of the lead female. The show did pretty well for Discovery Kids and ran from 2007 to 2010, lasting 3 seasons.
While shooting the show, Roberts took an interest in the guitar and started taking lessons. Roberts became a fantastic player and playing the guitar became his passion next to acting. After Salamander's Creek ended in 2010, Roberts focused more on his guitar playing, even studio recording ten pieces with him playing guitar, two of the pieces written by him. A few of the ten songs he recorded ended up on Michael Anthony's "Young Composers" album.
