"Keanu Domini"



Keanu Domini is a Hip-Hop Rap artist, songwriter, and actor, born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. Keanu lived in Orange Grove, Texas - his family's hometown, up until they moved out to Corpus Christi in 2008, when he was 6 years old. In 2016, at the age of fourteen, he began writing poetry on the bus on the way to school every morning, which would later evolve into Rap. He began writing raps in his garage - a place he referred to as "The Lab" where he would spend hours on end, perfecting his craft. "I was going through a hard time back in 2016, and it wasn't until one day, I remember it so vividly - I was helping my dad paint a house, he had just been laid off, so we were doing anything to make money selling plates of food, cutting grass, painting houses - you name it. It came to me like a vision, I can't really explain it, but there was this feeling inside of me, and from then on out, I told myself - I'm going to be a rapper, I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I know I'll figure it out." From that point on into late 2016 and into 2017, Keanu really began focusing on his ability to write. In the summer of 2018, after his freshman year of HS, he would begin work on his first concept album titled "A Dark Dark Knight". "It was ironic because I thought I had already gone through the lowest point of my life, throughout the duration of making this album (2018-2020) those were the hardest times for me, I'm glad I pulled through and made it here, where I am today as a person." After a long road of trials, Keanu Domini had finally accomplished his goal, and on September 4th, 2020 "A Dark Dark Knight" debuted on every digital streaming platform. Upon the heels of the release of his first album, and eager, now more than ever, to reach even higher - he became driven. Keanu delved deep, began work, and focused on his second album "The P.A.R.T.Y" an Acronym for the Poetic Album Representing T.he Youth. The P.A.R.TY. debuted on every digital streaming platform on September 11th, 2021 Keanu Domini's unique sound and presence are evident in his body of work thus far. "A Dark Dark Knight" is compelling, it is gritty and powerfully raw as it reflects his desire to share his darkest moments through his lyrics. Through this album, he takes you on a journey of how difficult life can be, through the eyes and mind of Keanu Domini. The concept for the album cover of "A Dark Dark Knight" is an analogy of life beating you down, and then coming out stronger on the other side of it still standing strong amid the chaos. The music video to the first track on this album, titled "Welcome to the Dark" is an extension of the concept for the album cover - highlighting themes such as loyalty & betrayal, deceit, violence, determination, perseverance, and triumph. Keanu wrote the script and cO- directed the music video for "Welcome to The Dark' with Pablo Schmitt Creative. Reflecting further upon Keanu's body of work, so far- as a whole, and taking a glimpse into his second album "The PARTy" - Keanu takes you on a trip, and you are the VIP passenger. "The PARTy" is a concept album, highlighting a montage of paramount themes within today's Keanu's ability to transform themes, lyrics, and music is evident throughout his work, and demonstrates a keen sense of flexibility and range within his craft. From his first album to his second album, you see his clever ingenuity in exposing his audience to concepts through his art. Keanu's capability in bringing to life what he envisions through his craft IS evidenced by his work. Keanu Domini is only 19 years old and has already released two albums, with a combined total of twenty-eight original tracks in his discography - released within twelve months of each other, professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered at Metropolis Recording Studio, under the guidance of Music Producer & Audio Engineer - Mr. Michael Fuentes.
