Background

An accomplished performer, Dominic's solo guitar and group performances have brought his show to concert halls, conventions, arenas, festivals, fairs, parks, community centres and social benefits across the globe. Performing some 150 shows annually, many on his own time and without remuneration, Dominic possesses a proven ability to educate and motivate his audiences to share their experiences and to learn about the value of self-development and community building.

Having performed throughout most parts of North America, Dominic has notably performed on Parliament Hill (on numerous occasions) as part of Canada Day celebrations and has sang for such notables as Nana Mouskouri, Peter Fonda and Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. He has appeared on stage with "The Rovers", "The Nylons" and in 2006 gave a command performance for Paul Martin who, at the time, was the Prime Minister of Canada.

A regular guest at industry events such as the Canadian Country Music Awards, Dominic has established strong networks in the entertainment industry through his fundraising and charity work, along with other Canadian celebrities such as Shania Twain, Rich Little, Sharon, Lois and Bram, singer George Hamilton and actress Maureen O'Hara, for whom he also once conducted a home security check.

His music has taken him to England, Ireland, China, the former Soviet Union, Barbados, Bermuda, the Caribbean Islands and even the North Pole. In 1997 he performed live in China at the "Rainbow Around the World" event in Beijing which reached a television audience of 350 million people around the Orient. Dominic was invited back in 1999 as a representative of Canada for the "Great Wall Festival" which was seen on CCTV by 450 million people. With his universal message and widespread appeal, Dominic celebrates both national and international success.
