HESITATE
ORIGINAL EP | OUT NOW
Music is better with emotion.
There’s a reason I make Pop music. It’s different from other music. It allows me to embed a song with powerful lyrics while still leaving it accessible to everyone. Pop music is music for the masses. It’s music that everyone can relate to. It’s music without boundaries.
My goal has always been to create music with emotion. When I write a song, I want it to be catchy. I want it to be fun to listen to. I want it to get stuck in your head. But my first priority is always emotion. I want you to feel something. Whether you’re happy or sad, on top of the world or barely hanging on, I want my music to be right there with you.
Music is better with emotion.
Music is meant to be seen.

Hesitate
Original EP | Out Now
Dominic dives head first into original music with a 4-song collection of lyrically rich, musically captivating pop music. From the synth heavy, “I Wanna Wake Up”, to the heartfelt piano ballad, “Card Games”, Hesitate is a story of heartbreak through the lens of Dominic’s unique songwriting and production.
I Wanna Wake Up
Debut Original Single | Out Now
Dominic’s first original single, “I Wanna Wake Up”, is a song about shock and confusion. When a relationship ends suddenly with little explanation, it's difficult to understand what went wrong and how you got there. It’s overwhelming, and you wish you could just wake up because that would mean it was all just a dream. That's the feeling this song tries to identify; trying to grapple with reality.
