Your new single "NSA (No Strings Attached)" has a bold and intriguing title — what inspired the track, and what message are you trying to convey through it?

"NSA" is about claiming your freedom — emotionally, creatively, and even on the dance floor. It’s a track for anyone who's done with drama and just wants to feel alive in the moment. No pressure, no baggage — just beats, basslines, and that one night where everything feels electric. It’s bold, unapologetic, and a little wild — just like I want my sets to be.

Your sound blends Tech House, Indie Dance, and Melodic House & Techno in a very distinctive way. How did you shape this sonic identity, and how is it reflected in "NSA"?

My sound is like a late-night drive with the windows down — a bit mysterious, a bit sexy, and always evolving. I’ve always been drawn to the tension between dark grooves and emotional highs. "NSA" is that balance — gritty tech elements meet melodic hooks that stay with you. It’s not about fitting into one box; it’s about building a vibe that pulls you in and doesn’t let go.

You’ve shared the stage with global icons like Tiësto, Meduza, David Guetta and Calvin Harris. Is there a particular behind-the-scenes or on-stage moment that had a lasting impact on you as an artist?

Honestly, just being in that kind of company is humbling. One moment that stuck with me was watching how effortlessly they connect with a crowd — not just through the music, but through presence. It reminded me that no matter how big the stage is, it’s all about energy and staying true to yourself. I’m grateful for every chance I get to learn from artists at that level — it keeps me grounded and inspired to keep growing.

With your "Bon Voyage" project, you're creating intimate musical experiences in unique locations. How did the idea come to life, and what do you hope your audience takes away from these events?

"Bon Voyage" was born from a craving — to get away from the ordinary and bring music to places that breathe a different kind of magic. Colloseums, secret gardens, old castles… I want people to feel like they’re stepping into another world for a night. It’s not just a party — it’s a journey. No phones, no distractions — just sound, setting, and connection.

If you could go back and speak to the Dominique who had just moved to New York to pursue her dream, what would you tell her now after everything you’ve accomplished?

I’d tell her: Don’t shrink to fit the room. You’re not here to blend in — you’re here to break the rules, push buttons, and turn the volume up. The journey won’t always be pretty, but every flight, every failure, every 4 AM studio session — it’s all part of building something real. Keep going. You’re just getting started.
