DoomCannon's music attempts to capture/reflect the inflections of beauty existing alongside the injustice and terror of our postmodern world; drawing as he does on his experience as a young British Black man.

Having spent years touring globally, Dominic has already won two Jazz FM Awards with Steam Down, as well as performing live at Brit Awards and Later with Jools with Celeste. With a debut album synthesising profound melodic/harmonic foundations, due for release later this year, DoomCannon is carving out a place for himself in the British Jazz scene and has set himself up as one watch
