Rita is the author of multiple hit records performed by A-list artists in Russia and Ukraine, including commercially successful releases that reached top chart positions and received heavy national radio rotation.

In 2016, she co-wrote the hit single "Tvoi Glaza" performed by LOBODA — one of the most commercially successful songs in modern Russian-language pop music.

  • The video surpassed 100 million views in January 2018
  • The track became the most rotated song in the CIS region in 2017 according to TopHit, with over 875,000 radio spins

Beyond her songwriting for other artists, Rita maintains an active solo catalog.

Within her solo career, her music consistently generates over 1 million combined monthly streams across digital platforms (Apple Music, Yandex Music, VK, Spotify).

When combining her solo releases and her songwriting placements for other performers, the total digital consumption of her catalog exceeds 1 billion streams.

In 2019, Rita Dakota was included in Forbes Russia's Top-15 ranking of the country's most commercially successful digital creators.

According to Forbes.ru, her officially reported annual income at the time was approximately $480,000.

The ranking reflected both her musical career and her strong digital presence, recognizing her as one of the most in-demand and commercially viable public figures in the Russian media landscape during that period.

Rita Dakota was selected as a member of the team led by Grammy Award-winning producer Walter Afanasieff on the large-scale televised music competition project "Main Stage."

Walter Afanasieff is internationally recognized for producing and writing global hits including "My Heart Will Go On" (Celine Dion), "Hero" and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (Mariah Carey), as well as numerous multi-platinum releases for major international artists.

Participation in his team provided Rita with direct exposure to international production standards, high-level vocal direction, and global pop songwriting methodology.

This collaboration reflects her commitment to professional development within internationally recognized production environments.

Rita Dakota is the songwriter behind songs featured in major television music formats, including national editions of X-Factor and The Voice, as well as entries selected for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest (2016–2017).
