BENDING MODERN HOUSE INTO SLEEK, HIGH-VOLTAGE FESTIVAL GOLD, THE GRAMMY-NOMINATED AND ACCOLADE STUDDED DJ AND PRODUCER DOM DOLLA IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST TICKETS ON THE GLOBAL DANCE CIRCUIT

BY DAN SALAMONE

BORN: Dominic Louis Matheson in Manila, Philippines, on January 18, 1992.

SOUND: Energetic, dancefloor-forward house music that incorporates elements of trap, tech house, bass house, earworm-intensive pop, and hip-hop.

BIG BREAK: After high school, Dom Dolla originally sought higher education in design, but his manager talked him into dedicating himself to his DJ alter ego. He released his first single, “The Boxer,” in 2013, and by 2015, his single, “Define” (released on Go Freek Records), was such a massive banger that it finished at No. 2 on the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Club End of Year Chart.

NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Since those early singles, Dom has had eleven tracks reach No. 1 on the ARIA Club charts, most recently March 2025’s “Dreamin,” and ten singles crack the Top 100 U.S. dance charts. He’s received widespread industry recognition, including Tech House DJ of the Year and House Song of the Year honors from the Electronic Dance Music Awards, selection as one of the 100 Best DJs on Earth by Mixmag, and a Grammy nomination for his remix of “New Gold” by Gorillaz. He’s performed at major festivals world wide, including Coachella in 2022 and Lollapalooza in 2023.

LATEST WORK: Dom’s latest chart-crasher, “No Room for a Saint” (with Nathan Nicholson) his contribution to the soundtrack of the 2025 box office hit F1 reached the Top 25 on the Billboard U.S. Dance Charts.
