Ra Domini best describes his sound as 'Futuristic Vintage' - the soulful vintage substance of songs of old, with the fresh innovations of the technological future. Ra Domini blends shredded rock guitar, mellow acoustic guitar licks, soulful Rhodes keys, pumping techno beats, reggae dub bass lines, plenty of old and new school hip hop elements, soaring synthesizer pads, chamber quartet string arrangements and merges them with an artistic intelligence never before seen.
Ra Domini began his production career in London England, at the age of 12, selling mix tapes at school. Ra created the mix-tapes at home on two unmatched turntables and an analog 4-track tape recorder. This equipment came courtesy of his Mother, who had used part of a bank loan to purchase the equipment for his twelfth birthday. But Ra Domini is the first to admit that he is truly a child of the digital age, after receiving his digital initiation on the famed EMU SP12 sampling drum machine. Clad in his trademark Levis and Adidas, Ra explains,
"The SP12 was my first love, I literally slept with that thing to the point where I could program it with my eyes closed. The gritty bit sound and limited memory forced your creativity and arrangement skills to the absolute limits".
The 90's saw Ra Domini graduate from schoolyard mix-tapes to becoming the founding member and main M.C. of the U.K. rap group Scientists of Sound. Ra Domini, then billed as Aybee released records on such U.K. underground labels as 'Bite This' Records, and Downlow Entertainment. The Scientists of Sound went on to tour with Busta Rhymes and R. Kelly as well as headlining their own tour. Scientists of Sound's shows included the infamous Subterranea club in West London, where they were sponsored by Cult comic book series '2000 AD', HOT '97 FM, and legendary DJ Stretch Armstrong. In 1996, Ra Domini produced the remix of 'I'm Your Man" by the artist Lisa Moorish (Island Records) featuring George Michael and Scientists of Sound.
The new millennium brought a change for Ra Domini as he moved stateside and set up producing and writing in Atlanta, where he currently works out of his Atlanta based Digital Domain Studios, amassing a vast catalog of material.

BE HIP HOP and LIVE! Excerpts taken from The University of Hip Hop Lecture Series
Today, many persons claiming to rep’ Hip Hop on the street / commercial level, echo the lowest part of the cultures’ Totem Pole.
Many front “ignorant” in song, pretend “ignorant” in purpose and register as lyrically retarded in verse. Meaning: They really are not; this is just the most availed route to sure failure, I mean success.
Anyway…..
Foolishly confined and “prided” by the ghettos’ of personal stagnation, many are unable to see themselves greater than their perceived circumstances, therefore they music of the plight rather than the glory.
You know, the glory found in being blessed with the gift... the gift and ability to deliver music!
For indeed, to be granted the duty of delivering the “universal language” through song is a duty of a profound magnitude... and with great duty comes greater responsibility!
Still… we all know the tune… many are called… but oh’ so few deliver.
