After accomplishing his major in Creative Arts, he became a Producer in a documentary production house. He entered the realm of Music Technology and Pro Audio when he became a Product Specialist for Focusrite / Novation in 2013. He is now a Senior Product & Design Manager of ASM (Ashun Sound Machines), who has proudly co-designed the Hydrasynth. He had hosted numerous events in Hong Kong, Mainland China & Taiwan, and exhibited in the world's largest music shows, including NAMM and Music China, for years.
Over the years, he has gained experience in instrument development, testing, sound designing, demonstration and performance.
As an Ableton Certified Trainer, he felt blessed to be able to share the knowledge and inspire aspiring talents.
Dominic is passionate about
learning and sharing new
music technologies, as well
as exploring vintage electronic instruments. He appreciates the legacy and innovation from both vintage and modern electronic instruments.
He focuses on customizing lessons to help students achieve their goals and encourages them to be productive throughout the learning process. Ableton Live, Push and diverse expressive instruments are the heart of his setup, for both production and performance, which enables his students to learn real-world applications.
