INTRODUCING DOM DE PAZ

Stories in Sound

A peer at Berklee College of Music once asked, “How come anything that Dom writes becomes an instant hit?”, but Dom De Paz grew up always being counted out.

​

A singer-songwriter born and raised in Rahway, New Jersey, Dom was heavily influenced by the radio. He learned how to play piano at five, taught himself to sing at ten, and later, the guitar at fourteen. Throughout his childhood, he was never afraid to speak his mind; he was always the first dog to burst in the room and bark. His talent was noticeable, but it was never truly utilized in any beneficial way, and others would jeer at him for it. It took him until high school to realize that he needed to tone it down a little, and so he began to shelter his emotions.

At fifteen, Dom penned his first song, and hasn’t looked back. In 2019, he was accepted into Berklee College of Music, focusing on songwriting and production, while also honing his skills in business and performing. During this time, he worked with high-caliber musicians, performed live, and even spent five months in Spain sharing his passion across the pond. He kept his original music hidden from everyone, until he finally drew back the curtains in 2021, with his first single “Best Decision”.  From that moment on, he has been collaborating and pitching original songs to artists all over the globe, while preparing an EP set to release in 2025.

After living in Boston, Massachusetts for 5 years, Dom returned home in 2023 to pursue opportunities around New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. He currently works as a private music instructor, teaching voice, guitar, piano, and drums. On weekends, he seeks out venues to play original music and covers. His diverse set lists can capture the attention of anybody that stumbles in the crowd. You may have not came to see him specifically, but you certainly stayed to enjoy the show he puts on and had a great time!
