It is the blessing (and the curse) of the übercreative that they are often great at more than just one thing. Such is the case with Dominique Pruitt. Not only is she one half of the stupendous photography duo Love Me Sailor, she's also a gifted singer and performer in her own right. Don't ask me how so much talent got wrapped up into one gorgeous package, but I'm just thankful we get to enjoy it!
Imagine it: Patsy Cline and Dusty Springfield invite Liz Phair and Duffy for late-night gossip over endless rounds of spiked coffee and pecan pie with vanilla whipped cream. That's Dominique's sound, look, sensibility. It's a bit country-n-blues, a bit rock-n-roll, 100% pure, soulful, and from the heart. I've had her song 'Love of Your Life' soundtracking non-stop here at Casa City Sage. Groupie alert!
If Dominique looks familiar, it might be because her incredible 50's-inspired wedding caught major attention last summer. And if she doesn't look familiar yet, commit this lovely face and voice to memory because she just signed a record deal! Follow Dominique's adventures on Twitter (she's such a hoot), crank it loud, and sing along at the top of your lungs. Girl's gonna be big! - The City Sage
9. Dominique Pruitt – “Love of Your Life”/ Singing in My Living Room
Singing in My Living Room is not the real name of Dominique Pruitt’s album because she doesn’t have one. She’s literally singing in her living room. Do I need to explain why she caught my eye? This funky, soulful beauty is music at its best: raw. With her dad by her side, this Los Angeles gem is dabbling in the world of music, developing as an artist and building a fan base before dropping a single. I can’t be less than impressed by the talent and prolific production of this young musician. Dominique has already made mention of putting together a full length album after getting her recordings in order. Her “Love of Your Life” track gives listeners a preview of what’s to come by demonstrating her range and potential, not to mention her songwriting abilities. So show a little love to this rhythmic genius ready to hit music store shelves soon. - Music Under Fire

Bio
Pretty like a pistol, and sassy like a tequila sunrise, soulful redhead Dominique Pruitt is here to shimmy your coconut tree with her own brand of retro pop that'll have you craving a classic convertible getaway to a mid-century modern paradise. At age 9, Dominique's course of her young life was changed when she saw the John Waters' film Cry Baby, and there it was--she was madly in love with all things 1950s, especially the music, and there was no escaping it. As she got older, everything about the 1940s and 1960s snuck into that special place in her heart as well. Her musical style follows the same cues with major nods to the sounds of bygone eras, updating her pop Patsy Cline and 60s beach vibes with hints of Nick Lowe and The Cramps. Growing up high on a hill in the Valley outside of Los Angeles, she made up imaginary friends when she was a small child, and this is where her love of story-telling began. Her parents and all of their friends were professional musicians, so being surrounded by eccentric music makers was just normal life. Her singing career started as a young girl, and her first audience was actually her horse, who would listen while walking for hours on a dusty trail. Shes a flea market treasure scourer, a tiki drink sipper, a rhinestone cowgirl--really, she still has horses--and loves all that sparkles. Today she still sings to her horse, but much more so for her fans around Los Angeles. Dominique has an interesting writing partner, her Dad (with a pretty weird past)but that's a whole other story. She is ready to release her debut, and cant wait to let everyone hear what she's been cookin' up.
