"I am just an honest musician out of Nashua New Hampshire. If I make it big awesome. If I don't that's awesome too. My main goal is to touch the hearts of a lot of people along whatever path I take.
I want to share my life experiences through my music with anyone and everyone. If you like me, great. If you don't like me that's fine too. I am what I am and I will never change for anybody."
-JAMIE DOMINIC-
I have posted several times before about musician and model Jamie Dominic (see previous posts HERE:). Although Jamie is still modeling, his main focus these days is getting the word out about his music and his group Motivations (see previous post HERE:)
As a model, Jamie possesses a fierce strength that has created some amazing and edgy images. Jamie is one of the nets most popular models and his work with some of best photographers in the business has led to an impressive portfolio. Jamie brings his strength, not to mention hard work and determination, to his music as well. In my previous profile on Motivations I said my favorite song was 'We Are Machines', but I think the bands most recently released Myspace single 'Save Your Life' has taken over that spot! Great song I encourage you all to take a listen to on the Bands Myspace page HERE:
MOtivations says:
'A name is more than a label and the name "Motivations" is a reflection of the continued bonds of friendship and the power of a shared dream among the band members. The dreams of man are his motive power - a driving force that shapes the world. Motivations wants to share theirs with you.'
This quote specifically impressed me as Motivation is certainly a theme within many of the bands songs. I recently asked Jamie a few questions about the band and his modeling.
Below: MOtivations band members Steve Langone, Pat Strawbridge, Dominic and Josh Kern.
FH:
With everyone working and busy schedules, how do you keep your friendships strong and how do you find the time to schedule rehearsal times and dates to play?
Jamie Dominic:
I'd say we are all best friends. We have been there through everything together. No matter how busy things get , no matter what comes our way this band is our heart. It's our drive and our MOTIVATION to live our lives. We make sure that time is made for this band. No matter what! We have the strongest friendship between all of us. There isn't anything we wouldn't do for one another. I personally would die for any of these guys as they would for me.
FH:
Given your band is called Motivations, what or who motivates you when things get rough or your down.
Jamie Dominic:
Life in general, personal experiences and just overall drive to succeed is what pushes us and is what motivates us to play what we play and write what we write. Just the simplicity of friendship and brotherhood between us as a band keeps us going!

FH:
Given your success as a model, do you find that gets in the way of promoting the band or do you use it to your advantage?
Jamie Dominic:
I started modeling simply to get my face out there so that one day people can see what my REAL true love is. I took this road to meet new people and to get my foot in any door possible so that later on i can introduce my music to the world. So yes i use modeling to my advantage. Absolutely!
