At first glance, Dominic appears to be your everyday tall
dark and handsome struggling musician. Ask him a question, and you might find
out that he just graduated from Berklee College of Music. Take the time to
really get to know him, and you'll realize he has a vision for his future. His
decision to transfer to University of Massachusetts this year is part of his
"back up plan... so [he] doesn't have to work at Starbucks." His
first love was music; he started playing drums when he was nine, inspired by
his father, who was a guitarist. These days, he plays his music free for all
who care to listen, in hopes of becoming famous one day. Dominic's ambition and
drive is also shown in the classes he's chosen to take in grad school this
fall. Realistically, he knows that a career in music might not work out,
therefore, he has chosen to take Physics and Calculus as a Plan B.
Not
completely turning away from his band, Dominic told us he practices three to
four hours almost every day. In mid July, he will be performing with his band
Ramsey at the Warp Tour. Pulling his CD from his backpack, Dominic handed it to
us for free and told us to listen. Through his determination in all aspects of
his life, hopefully Dominic will succeed in whatever he chooses to pursue,
whether it be a famous musician, a physicist, or even working behind a cash
register at Starbucks.
