I consider my songs and recordings to be viewed as 'industry samples' playing all the instruments myself excluding drums. The guitars and bass are the main instruments I play. To date all the compact discs you hear, except my very first project is all me. All the instruments recorded were to create a more full sound. I certainly do not consider myself an expert when it comes to playing the other instruments, but I try my best. I would someday like to get professional musicians to play and record my material. My first professional recording in the studio was with all studio musicians. Since the first album I struck out on my own and have written engineered and produced all this material. Nine total compact discs with my tenth on the way. I would like to leave the engineering and other instruments to the professionals and concentrate my efforts in the writing and recording of my songs. So for now, what you see is what you get. Thanks for stopping by to listen. Musically Yours, Dom

Since the completion of his first album in 1979, Dom is still writing and going strong. It is difficult to categorize Dom as just a rock musician. His music runs the gamut from hard-driving rock to jazz-fusion, ballads, blues and acoustic rock tunes. His eclectic taste of music always makes for a fun and pleasurable experience for the diverse listener. Hard Driving Rock/Acoustic Rock ballads and Instrumentals executed and delivered to all ages the way you like it to be. High-Energy music and melodies you wont soon forget.
