About Dominique

---

I’ve been making music since I was a child, and taught myself the piano, developing a passion for songwriting.

This became my early career and I toured with my own band performing across the UK at Ronnie Scotts, Glastonbury and other International Festivals.

Having a love of cultures and travel I lived and worked in Hong Kong as a composer for The Media Bank for some years until I had my family.

I trained to become a music educator in 2009 and was Head of Vocals/ Keyboards at Access to Music, Brighton and developed their summer school programme. 

I relocated to Andalucía, Spain for some years and took up DJ ing, working  with some fantastic flamenco artists. 

With over 25 years of experience in the music industry across tour management, studio production, programme design, delivery and performance.

I have an expansive contact network ranging music producers to arts organisations and love finding musical solutions for people.

This is me back in the day with the incredible Yoko Ono & George Martin at The PRS John Lennon Songwriting Award.

Yoko was so lovely and said she was pleased a young women had received it.

2023 stats are showing us we have a massive gender gap in the music industry. Women are leaving the industry through lack of financial security and equality issues.

I support Women In Control as an initiative to bridge this gap.

I'm currently working with Audio Active managing an exciting project called Truth To Power. Engaging young people and local change makers. 

Since 2022 I have been working with West Sussex Music designing and developing their Youth Engagement Programmes songwriting, rap and lyric writing with Louie Levack.

This includes HAF courses, widening their partnerships within the community and overseeing delivery.  

These are now delivered across Bognor Regis, Littlehampton & Crawley.

Louie and I also have our own studio in Worthing where we deliver sessions and produce our own music.
