Join Stef as he sits down with Dominic Cifarelli, a musician whose journey from humble beginnings has led him to step onto stages with some of the biggest names in Rock. We trace Dominic's path through the highs and lows of the music industry and explore the remarkable twists that have led him to rediscover his passions
Dominic's musical journey began watching his family members, whether it was his virtuoso grandfather or his brother strumming cardboard guitars. He recounts his early influences and the moment that changed everything: watching the legendary rock documentary "A Year and A Half in the Life of Metallica." It was then that he knew music was his calling, and getting signed to a record label became his sole mission.
Discover how Dominic's unrelenting determination led him to connect with local musicians, industry insiders and influencers, forging crucial relationships that would shape his career. But the turning point arrived unexpectedly, with a six-pack of beer and an encounter in the trailer of the band Taproot. From there, his journey catapulted him and his band into Ozzfest tours, Guitar Magazine covers, and ignited collaborations with renowned artists.
Listen as Dominic takes us through his experiences, from playing bass for Scars on Broadway (featuring System of a Down members) to being hired for studio sessions with artists like Billy Ray Cyrus. The rollercoaster ride of the Rock Dream is laid bare, as he shares both the triumphs and trials he faced along the way.
But the episode doesn't stop at music. Dominic's story takes a profound turn as he shares how he recognized the need to take a step back and prioritize himself. Rediscovering his childhood passions like BMX and Motocross, he embarked on a remarkable journey of self-discovery.
On his 40th birthday, he unveiled his James Bond List—a roster of pursuits he didn't just want to try but aimed to master and integrate into his life alongside his passion for music.
Dominic continues to evolve everyday, not only as a musician with projects like Chronicles of Israfel but also in his partnerships with esteemed brands like Godin Guitars and Diamond Pedals.
