We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Nick Domingo a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Nick, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
The most meaningful project I’ve ever worked on was my first original song that I released last year.
I had never released, let alone written, my own original material before. I’d always cover other artists music. So, to be able to learn this craft and eventually get the hang of it was very exciting to me.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a one-man band from San Diego. I started out covering other artists music with just my guitar and a loop pedal, but I’ve since branched out and started releasing my own original music last year.
I would describe my music as alternative with orchestral influences. My debut EP, “The Phoenix Project, Pt. 1”, which released on June 11 of last year, is a collection of 5 instrumental songs that are reminiscent of film-score type songs.
This year, I released the songs “Midnight Drive” and “Solaris”, which are the lead single and follow up single for my upcoming project. I can’t give too much away, but It’s inspired by all the different artists that have influenced me throughout the years.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect for me is completing any body of work. Whether it’s a song, or just getting a certain part of a song finished after struggling to find the right sort of vibe for it.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Honestly, it’s just to put myself out there a lot more and release more music. I know it might not be everyone’s cup of tea since it’s purely instrumental without any vocals, but there might be some people out there that really enjoy that kind of music.
