Dominic Canning, otherwise known as @DOOMCANNONMUSIC DoomCannon is a London-based composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. We recorded this @TivoliVredenburg during Transition Festival 2023
As an artist of colour who grew up dabbling in flute and percussion from a very early age and trained himself in piano as a teenager, DoomCannon finds it crucial to make musical work that challenges our existing systems of power.

According to DoomCannon: “As a Black British artist, I always felt the need to comment on racism that prevails in London. Due to the lack of space in the scene, it has been challenging to get the right message across.”
As a session musician, Canning has garnered the attention of award-winning vocalist, Celeste, who invited him to become her musical director, performing live at the Brit Awards and later with Jools Holland. Having been a regular collaborator with numerous musicians throughout his career, it has been challenging for Canning to place himself at the centre of this new solo recordWith all that experience, he released his solo debut single 'Amalgamation' in 2022 under the name DoomCannon.
Not much later the album 'Renaissance' was released.
The theme of the album is the “young Black British experience”, inspired by the global Black Lives Matter movement..
