YouTube Creations
Background & Inspiration
Taking the idea of a "one-man orchestra" to a whole new level, Dominick's creative YouTube creations are a brainchild of his own imagination. The idea of doing a project where one person records all of the orchestral and vocal parts is a huge undertaking, which is why almost no one has ever attempted it. In March of 2020 during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dominick started experimenting with his first attempt at creating such a project. Starting with an acoustic arrangement of "Proud of Your Boy" from Aladdin and followed by another acoustic arrangement of "Falling in Love (Reprise)" from Thoroughly Modern Millie, and a "Falling Slowly" collaboration with Sydney Black, Dominick produced some flawed yet overall successful results ("Proud of Your Boy" and "Falling in Love (Reprise) are no longer public on YouTube, but I have linked them below for reference as a testament to how far I've come). After battling almost a month long illness, Dominick returned to his efforts in August and started work on what would become his first true creation. "Poor Unfortunate Souls" was released in August of 2020 to immense praise from many. Ever since then, Dominick has continued to create, always learning and improving with each new venture.
