BIOGRAPHY

Ken Domash’s journey to country music stardom is anything but conventional. It all began not with dreams of being a recording artist, but as a father simply passing the time while his daughter took lessons. Instead of sitting idly in the lobby like the other parents, Ken took a voice lesson — something he’d never considered before. His teacher, convinced he was joking about not knowing whether he could sing, encouraged Ken to join a band. That moment set a series of events into motion that would lead him to Nashville and into the hearts of country music fans everywhere.

After buying a guitar and practicing his songs for a year—often playing to lull the kids to sleep at bedtime—Ken’s wife suggested he take his music to a local bar, just to get some peace and quiet at home. The crowd loved it. They loved the raw, unpolished quality of his songwriting, and soon, they were urging him to record his songs. He followed their advice, heading to Nashville to give it a try. With his debut CD in hand, Ken knocked on radio station doors, and it wasn’t long before a producer took notice. A second round of recording followed, and Ken's next release became an instant hit, making its way up the charts with what was dubbed a “Silver Bullet” success.

Ken’s musical roots, however, didn’t originate in country music. Growing up, he was immersed in rock and roll rather than traditional country sounds. His sister’s classical piano playing pushed him in a different direction, and Ken found himself drawn to art, karate, and even magic. His passion for magic took him to international competitions in places like Hawaii, Virginia, Spain, and Las Vegas, where he won numerous titles and was on the verge of a Vegas residency. However, a pivotal moment arrived when life’s “blinker” moment came, and Ken shifted gears to focus on raising a family.

It wasn’t until a neighbor invited Ken and his wife to a small wedding that his musical journey truly began. At the event, the mother of the groom asked Ken to sing, and after he tried an Elvis song, she said, “You should sing.” A voice lesson followed, and before long, Ken found himself on the path to becoming the country artist he is today.

Influenced by an eclectic mix of music growing up—ranging from Elvis to Foghat, Michael Jackson to breakdancing—Ken found himself drawn to the raw, driving sounds of artists like Jason Aldean, who blended country with rock influences. It was through the likes of Aldean’s hit “She’s Country” that Ken realized country music could be both gritty and melodic, with a nod to his beloved rock roots.

As Ken hit the road, touring radio stations and promoting his last album, he had a realization: the music of his youth — 90’s country and the classic rock bands he loved — had always been a part of him. From Aerosmith to Ozzy Osbourne, Nirvana to Nickelback, Ken’s musical influences are vast and diverse. Today, his playlists range from the modern pop sounds of Dua Lipa and Halsey to the country anthems of Luke Combs, Kid Rock, and Hardy.

Ken’s music, however, is deeply personal. It is shaped by the love and support of his family. His father, a constant presence during Ken’s magic shows, instilled a strong sense of family and hard work. His mother, a quiet strength, always supported Ken’s creative pursuits. Today, Ken’s wife and kids continue to be his biggest supporters. His wife has appeared in every music video he’s ever made, and their kids have played behind-the-scenes roles in the production of his music. For Ken, every song, every performance is a family affair.

With his upcoming album, 20 Different Routes, Ken Domash is set to take listeners on a musical journey through his life and experiences. Drawing inspiration from his time on the road, the album combines mainstream pop-country, old-school boot-kickin’ country, and a touch of rock influence. With this album, Ken hopes to show that no matter what path you take in life, there’s always something to learn, something to share, and something to celebrate.

Ken Domash is about real music, real emotions, and real songs — the soundtrack to a life well-lived and well-traveled.
