R3wind…More like Fast Forward!
By Janet Dominy
Innovative…cutting edge…ahead of his time
These things and more are the ways that people have attempted to describe the musical style of the artist known as Ric Dominy aka R3wind.
At a young age this gifted musician was showing his true colors. He was a classically trained guitar player, and managed to self teach himself over 13 different musical instruments, many if not most of them string instruments. This education, though something for fun and a hobby to keep him “off the street”, would prove to be invaluable to his future as an artist and producer.
Growing up poor in a small town, Ric was no stranger to the kind of angst and pain that is deeply rooted in the heart of any artist. He lived a life of poverty and despair, sleeping on the floor for most of his life and working hard for everything that came his way. It was this hard work that shaped his character and made him the person that he is today.
His musical roots were in rock and jazz, but he also always had a healthy respect for hip hop culture and R&B. This mixture of influences has made Ric’s music a different experience altogether. His taste is eclectic and this makes his style one of a kind.
There are no cookie cutters in art as far as Ric is concerned. It has been his goal from the beginning to have a style like no other. He strives constantly to not just be another Neuro-funk track in a DJ set, but to be recognized for his true talent as an artist and songwriter.
