The motivated one to push SOUL’d Out to the limits since 2003; his passion for disco & any excuse to dance is unrivalled. Seeking opportunities to have their music touch as wide audience as he can, he has been interviewed on regional radio; centre spread newspaper articles of some of their successes where SOUL'd Out have performed on roof tops, in town halls, shopping centres and alongside an XFactor finalists.
Dominic has played drums since he was 5. Drum teachers include Adrian Page (1985-1987) & Paul Francis (Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel) 1987-1993
With style and charisma this massive disco fan & dancer is so glad to get out from behind the kit now and again for a sing & boogie!
Regular concert goer, Dom is influenced by Chic! ft Nile Rodgers & Bruno Mars for their live performances. , For technical ability and funk it has to be BrotherStrut (BrotherStrut.com) for nailing the relationship between the audience and the groove! Internationally, Ladies of Soul (Ft Gennis Grace & Candy Dulfer) who hail from the Netherlands are an absolute delight and inspire some of the energy SOUL'd Out delivers.
Look forward to seeing you at a SOUL'd Out show sometime soon!
