  • Branching into your passion and staying true to yourself with Fabian Dominguez aka Docta Groove!

     In this episode, Melanie joined the very talented musician, composer, songwriter, producer, and singer (did I miss anything?) Fabian Dominguez, more known as Docta Groove.  They recorded in his bedroom-turned-studio for this interview and chatted all about how his music process so far!  

    This conversation is very much a chat amongst friends but Fabian provides a peek into what his personal journey with finding himself has been like and how he finally decided to pursue music as a career.  While his humility shines through, it is the value he places in himself that matters most at the end of the day.  That mindset is truly what makes him unique, inspiring, and has led to his dedication for continuous improvement—plus, spectacular music!
