CANUCK MUSIC!

Bio:
Toronto born DOMANIQUE GRANT is a Singer-Songwriter, Media Personality and Creative Director.

Named one of BUZZFEEDS top 20 artists’ to watch, DOMANIQUE GRANT is the perfect combination of whimsical fierceness.

A compelling songwriting and lyrical gift that breaks down your walls and empowers you to let go of trying to be anything but your most authentic self. Currently working on her second music project, DOMANIQUE’S new music is SIA meets LISA LEFT EYE LOPEZ. Moody pop soul blending electronic inspiration from artist’s like Imogen Heap, with pop-rap undertones of Chance the Rapper and Lizzo.
