DOM - New CD OUT NOW !!!

After all, it's all about playing !

About Me

DOM's pop-rock language came from more than 20 years of musical passion. He played played classical piano in his early years but soon tunred to pop-rock music, working with various artists and bands as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, arranger or leader. DOM completed his first singer-songwriter project in 2007. He followed a proven formula offering pop-rock songs with their classical raw elements : edgy guitars, strong bass and groovy drums topped with melodic vocals and catchy hooks all delivering in a very personal manner. For his solo project, DOM also co-wrote songs with lyricists and composers in Switzerland, Canada and USA through a Songwriter Internet community (www.songu.com). DOM's songs are a subtle mixture of power and smoothness, warmth and punch, tension and relief in a great pop-rock package ... The best thing to do, in the end, is to listen to DOM's music and lyrics and experience the magic for yourself.

Influences: Although a french-speaking, my main influences are towards english-music. The main influence I had came from "The Police" and Sting. I am really listening to a wide range of music, from classical to heavy metal, including jazz, world-music, pop, rock, grunge, etc. I interested myself to all the instruments I want to compose with. In consequence I play guitar, bass, piano, drums and finally achieved to be comfortable as a singer (took me some time ...)
