Dakota Striplin makes a memorable appearance on the popular music show “The Voice,” where he reveals his connection to the legendary Elvis Presley, also known as “The King of Rock and Roll.” Dakota serenades both the audience and judges with a heartfelt rendition of “Love Me Tender,” a classic hit that brings to mind his famous lineage.

The room falls silent in awe as Dakota begins strumming his guitar and singing with a voice that can only be described as angelic. One judge, visibly moved, swiftly turns her chair around, placing her hand over her heart. Another judge, unable to resist the charm of Dakota’s performance, eagerly follows suit.

She promptly spins her chair to face Dakota, exclaiming, “I need to see what’s happening here.” By the time Dakota finishes the song, the judges are utterly captivated by his vocal talent and musical prowess.

Curious about his song choice and backstory, the judges inquire further. Dakota shares that Elvis Presley has always been a significant influence in his life.
