Dominic San Juan

New York-based soul singer DOMINIC * SAN JUAN didn't have any musical career aspirations until the age of 12, having up until that time gravitated to the more visual end of the artistic spectrum. Out of spite for an asshole of a teacher, and at the whimsical request of a junior high school crush, he spontaneously agreed to switch from art class to school choir, and only occasionally glanced back.

With an aggressive soulful lyric baritone that's versatile enough for ANY genre, Dominic has a sound that is sure to leave you wanting to hear more. Any discerning listener would easily add his songs in a Playlist with Cee-Lo/Gnarls Barkley, NERD, Santogold, Adele, Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, and other innovative soul artists.

As a songwriter, DOMINIC * SAN JUAN injects all of his sincerity and earnestness into his lyrics. Whether it’s reviving a grudge with an old flame, to getting up the motivation to take his lazy ass to the gym, it’s an imperative for Dominic to be able to commit to the words coming out of his mouth. Narrating experiences, thoughts and feelings that most people go through, but are sometimes too proud to admit, at least until someone else admits to it first, Dominic’s lyrics are relevant without having a short “shelf life,” and a huge part of it is in his delivery.

Many times in life we tell ourselves that we “make do with what we have”, but seldom do we really appreciate those things we have, and the many ways they we can make them work for us beyond their obvious uses. Music is Dominic’s platform for exploring his own actualization, enlightenment, and yes, ego. Lots of it, but tempered by a self-deprecating sense of humor, and maybe the occasional tragic life lesson that he relishes in sharing with anybody who will listen.
