Weaving her Mexican American roots into modern country music, singer-songwriter Alyssia Dominguez spins a new twist on the genre. Dominguez, born and raised in Wisconsin, draws inspiration from her grandmother’s musicality from her days in a local Tejano band. The vivid memory continues to fuel Dominguez’s lifelong passion.
Donning a “cowboy couture” look of her own, Dominguez was featured in the Washington Post profile of Mexican fashion designer Manuel Cuevas, highlighting his career pioneering the iconic look for artists like Elvis and Johnny Cash. She appeared alongside other notable Hispanic artists in Nashville.
A regular performer in the Country Music Capital, Dominguez played at CMA Fest in 2024 as part of the Color Me Country Foundation and was included in Apple Music’s Color Me Country Radio Class of 2023. She’s also performed with Nashville’s Song Suffragettes and Virgin’s Young Music City Rooftop Sounds as part of Latin Heritage Month. Back home, she’s recognized for performances at Milwaukee’s iconic Summerfest and Appleton’s Mile of Music.
Dominguez’s music speaks for itself, magnetic and authentic with romanticized themes of adventure and self-exploration. Her first full-length album, Dance With Me, premiered in 2017. Listeners can find the latest from Dominguez with her latest EP, Chasin’ the Wild released May 2024.
