DOMINIC * SAN JUAN

show, don't tell.

About Me

sup fam! it's your boy Dominic. Yes, that's really my name. Google me, baby!

i am working on a new layout, etc., but wanted to kickstart it by gutting out the old structure. In the meantime here's a lil somethin' about me.

I'm a singer/songwriter from New York. I grew up in Queens but went to school in the city. The closest that people have come to defining my style and sound is "John Legend meets N.E.R.D. meets Gnarls Barkley" but I'm just happy to be able to channel all the crazy stuff goin' on in my head in a creative manner.

I write about anything and everything, as long as I'm able to inject some soul into it.

See you on the other side!

roller coasters: the great american scream machine
