About:
David Dominguez, the creative force behind the musical project "Porte Norte," hails from the small town of Dumas, TX. However, it is in Chihuahua, the capital city, where he has spent most of his life and honed his musical craft. Dominguez's journey into the world of music began in his childhood, driven by a deep-seated passion for singing and an admiration for iconic artists such as Vicente Fernández, Joan Sebastián, and others who have left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Dominguez's formal introduction to music commenced around the age of 8 or 9, with guitar lessons from a local church choir guitarist. These lessons laid the foundation for his musical development, starting with hymns as his initial repertoire. His musical tastes and skills diversified over time, as he delved into pop music and, more importantly, regional Mexican genres, expanding his skills through online tutorials.
A significant turning point in Dominguez's career occurred in 2016, when he began composing his own music. This shift was partly inspired by the success of contemporaries such as Ariel Camacho, Virlan García, and others in the Mexican music scene. However, it was the works of renowned composers like Alfredo Olivas, Joan Sebastián, and Juan Gabriel that truly fueled his songwriting passion.
"Porte Norte," Dominguez's project, initially focused on corridos. But with time, he evolved into a versatile composer, exploring and blending various musical styles. His music reflects his eclectic taste and willingness to experiment with different genres. Dominguez's ultimate goal is to share his artistic creations with an audience that appreciates his unique blend of musical influences. He aspires to take his music beyond the local scene, dreaming of performing in various cities and gaining wider exposure for his work.
Through "Porte Norte," David Dominguez is not just creating music; he is sharing a part of his soul, his heritage, and his artistic vision with the world.
