Dakota Ferriero may be the busiest performer in town. Her collaborative roster includes Enrique Iglesias, Prince and Maroon 5. She was the headliner burlesque performer for the launch of Victoria’s Secret at Lanoro Lingerie in Europe, featured as a celebrity panelist on Oxygen’s Top 25 Power Couples, hosted by Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. Appeared on the VH1’s Rock of Love 2 and Carson Daly’s Show.
