DJ Interviews: Dominic

 Heres my interview with singer Dominic who shared his succes

I got started in music the same way as most, growing up and listening to songs. My taste in music has definitely changed over the years as I’ve grown. I sung karaoke with my parents (LeAnn Rimes for example haha) had piano lessons at an early age and since then it’s developed into a healthy hobby of mine. Now I’m trying to create music that I enjoy listening to.

One of my biggest inspirations was JUICE WRLD, his music got me through some really hard times and I think he’s been really impactful on me by having such introspective lyricism. Other notable mentions are J Cole and Drake. There’s a ton of other influences though there are just too many amazing musicians to name them all.

Don’t be afraid to share your pre released music with your friends sometimes when you’re creating a track, you get so into it you have an overly biased opinion of it. There’s times when I’ve asked for feedback from close friends and their advice has made me scrap the whole track or rework it. Friends are vital. A different ear to listen is really important.

Just by being myself, my lyrics, and my music are all produced by myself, and I feel like regardless of whether people like to listen to it, as long as I do and I’m proud to listen to it I can continue creating it. Don’t try to copy someone else’s style. You can of course take pointers from them, but ultimately, you are your own person and you should create music based off your own experiences to make it feel genuine.

It’s corny and cliche to say but without music I don’t think I’d be here today. There’s a certain release you get from listening and singing along with music. It helps you explore your emotions, feelings and thoughts. It gets you through tough times. For me I can’t stop listening to music, it makes impressions on me daily and allows me to think from a different perspective.

I have some prereleases that I’m holding, 2025 is going to be a huge year for me, so far I’ve released 4 songs officially on Spotify, I’m sat holding several others and I plan to continue producing throughout the year.

Gigs, I’ll consider if I ever get enough popularity. It’s hard to break out, there’s a ton of talent and billions of songs out there. That’s why I think enjoying your own music is a core aspect of being able to be a successful artist.
