I used to always sing with my grandfather, doo-wop song after doo-wop song,&#8221; Dom remembers. &#8220;If you listen to &#8220;Magic&#8221;, it has that same soulful, timeless type of feeling to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dom isn&#8217;t sure if he fully claims that &#8220;old soul&#8221; label (&#8220;Everybody I meet always says that about me, and I&#8217;m like, <em>I guess it&#8217;s just the music I grew up on!<\/em>&#8220;). But one thing he *is* sure of? Himself\u2014and his big dreams for the future. He sat down with us to spill exactly how he&#8217;ll make them a reality.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVZin8VD-GS\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVZin8VD-GS\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Dom Innarella (@dominnarella)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">Girls Life: With a song like &#8220;Magic&#8221;, do you draw inspiration from your own life? From other artists? From movies or books?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dom Innarella<\/strong>: Honestly, all of those. But I think I lean more towards the personal route. If I&#8217;m feeling happy one day, I&#8217;ll want to write a happy, jolly song. And if I&#8217;m feeling sad or emotional, I&#8217;ll put that into my music, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">GL: Is it hard to bring those real-life experiences to the studio?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dom<\/strong>: That&#8217;s a great question. It is challenging when I get to the studio and all these people are around. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to get vulnerable in that moment and speak to what I&#8217;m really feeling. But everyone I work with I&#8217;m super comfortable with\u2014we&#8217;re like a family. So that definitely makes it easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">GL: What&#8217;s your musical superpower?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dom<\/strong>: I mean, I play a couple of instruments: piano, guitar, drums. But that&#8217;s been a more recent thing. Definitely my biggest instrument is my voice. I&#8217;ve loved to sing literally since I could talk.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-318091\" src=\"https:\/\/girlslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dom-innarella-vertical-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A young person with curly hair wearing a cozy green sweater sits on a windowsill, leaning forward with a relaxed expression.

I would watch videos on how they&#8217;d perform, how they&#8217;d approach being in the studio. There&#8217;s this Michael Jackson quote that I come back to. He said, &#8220;Study the greats and become greater.&#8221; I think if you want to be an entertainer, you have to focus on becoming the greatest version of yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">GL: And who&#8217;s on your &#8220;Mount Rushmore&#8221; of artistic influences?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dom<\/strong>: You gotta put Michael Jackson up there to start. Bruno Mars also just released, in my opinion, one of his best albums ever, so he&#8217;s definitely up there. Stevie Wonder is literally a legend, an icon. And Whitney Houston, who, to me, is the greatest female vocalist of all time.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">GL: It&#8217;s crazy that it&#8217;s only been a year since you started releasing music. What has surprised you most about being in the spotlight?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dom<\/strong>: Seeing the amount of people that my music resonates with\u2014it&#8217;s a beautiful thing. I think the wildest thing is also just visiting L.A. and getting recognized in public. And in two weeks, I&#8217;ll be in Japan, performing at a music festival there. It&#8217;s insane.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">GL: Wow, talk about a bucket list destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dom<\/strong>: Literally. I&#8217;m checking it off! I don&#8217;t know if there will be a lot of time to sightsee, but I do really want to get a chance to take in the scenery, the cherry blossom trees, all that. Oh, and go to a jewelry store there.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">GL: Besides traveling, what are your biggest goals for the coming year?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dom<\/strong>: I&#8217;ll say this, you can definitely expect more music. But my ultimate dream, the one I&#8217;ve had since I started doing music, isn&#8217;t to win a Grammy or any kind of award\u2014 although those things are amazing. For me, the dream for years has been to sell out Madison Square Garden.
