I’m Dom. I started writing songs as a teenager because it was a good way to process life and have a laugh with friends on a Saturday afternoon. That feeling of excitedly building something new with someone else, feeding off each other’s energy, one idea igniting the next, is still pretty much why I do it now, whether that’s in a video call or a barn studio in the countryside or a flurry of emails that neither of us expected to enjoy quite so much.

I work with artists who have something to say but haven’t quite figured out how to say it yet. Maybe it’s a voice note that’s been sitting on a phone for six months, a lyric that’s almost there, or just a feeling that hasn’t found its shape. That’s where collaborating with someone else can spark something, finishing things off and throwing up a few pleasant surprises along the way.

When I think of my career’s highlights, the moment I keep coming back to is a string of emails I once got from a stranger who’d heard a song of mine called Highland Days, who told me it had helped him name a grief he’d been carrying about his father’s dementia. This emotional resonance is what songs are for, really, and it’s what keeps me coming back to this most emotionally stirring of art forms. Some of this work has ended up on NBC and Discovery Channel, and I’ve played at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, where an appreciative audience felt like a good sign that the songs were doing what they were supposed to.

I collaborate on songwriting, production and session recordings, remotely or in London. Have a look around, and if something sounds like it might be useful, get in touch. If you’re not sure yet, get in touch anyway.
