HONOLULU (HI Now) - Local artist Dominic Carlos joins HI Now Daily to discuss his upcoming single “Sweet Talker,” marking his first venture into love songs after focusing primarily on alternative rock and R&B. Carlos, who grew up on gospel and R&B music, blends these influences with alternative rock to create his unique sound. He describes his music as chapters from different periods of his life, like a storybook in song form.
Carlos is part of the Henry Kapono Foundation’s Friday series at The Lounge in Hawaii Kai, where he performs both covers of local music and original songs. The event starts at 5:00 PM and offers a relaxed alternative to Waikiki’s busyness, featuring live music, sunset views, food, and drinks. Carlos previously performed with Henry Kapono at the Blue Note and continues to grow as an emerging artist in Hawaii’s music scene.
