Where were you born and raised?
I was born and raised in Houston Texas

Please describe yourself as a person – who is Dominique?
Dominique is homebody. I am rather shy unless Im on stage. I prefer to hang with family to going out an parting with friends.

Did any of your family members have a musically impact on you when you were growing up?
I wouldnt say they had a musical impact but their work ethics have definately rubbed off on me. My dad is really anal about things. He needs them to always be in order and on schedule. That really helps me on the buisness side and my mom is a fashionista! She keeps my image on point.

What would you say is your best characteristic?
I would have to say my drive. The music business is really challenging at times and having the drive to keep going puts me ahead of the curve.

How was it making "Good Girl Blues"?
Making Good Girl Blues was an amazing experience. I got to work with cool producer by the name of M DUB. It was exciting to be able to write songs that really describe past relationships and friends experiences. Since I am releasing this album independently I had total control so that was fun too.

What is your personal favorite song you’ve written?
On this album it would be a tie between Exclusively and Gerrale (In Love). Exclusively just came out so effortlessly and its a story I have heard a million times from friends. Gerrale (in love) is about my husband so its self explanatory.

Are you pleased with how your career is going?
Yes I am happy to have so many people discover my music before I even released the album. I hope to keep moving forward, tour and bring my sound to the world.

What would be your dream collaboration album (musicians/producers/writers etc)?
Wow. I would love to have Kanye West produce a song for me. He is really innovative. I also would love to collaborate with my idol Tina Turner. She is just amazing!!!

Where are your best places to perform?
My favorite places to perform are any places that are open to my sound. Im really excited to give my fans something relatable and exciting.

Is there anything you’d like to change?
I really have no regrets. Every experience has made me into the artist I am today. I just hope to get better.

Any plans to perform in the Europe?
Wow I hope so. Lets get a buzz going out there and I'll be there.

What was the last thing that made you smile and cry
I recently attended at 70th birthday party for my husbands great aunt. She told me she would live long enough to see me get my grammy. She said she was sure it would happen because she prayed for it. That was really special to me. I'll never forget it.

What was the last CD you purchased and which type of music do you enjoy listening to the most?
I just purchased Billie Holiday's God Bless the Child cd. I love her phrasing and style. Solange's latest cd is in my cd player and ipod heavily right now. I just looove her album.

Dominique, it has been a pleasure to interview you. Neo-SoulGroove will definitely support you forever. Thank you for your time, good music and inspiring lyrics. Good luck with your upcoming release.
Thank you soo much for your support!
