Soy Domingo Soto : El Cautivador de la Bachata
aci en La Descubierta Republica Dominicana y creci en San Jose de Ocoa

Nhasta mis 19 anos . De ahi tome la decision de irme a vivir a la Ciudad de Panama , estando 3 meses en Panama , me di cuenta que no era el lugar donde queria continuar viviendo . Y el destino me trajo a los Estados Unidos despues de casi 3 anos el cual fue un pais nunca pensado . Pero el destino lo hizo que fuera posible despues de tanto trabajo . Cuando llegue en el ano 1995 vi como la pasion de mi vida el canto y el tocar guitarra llenaba esos momentos de soledad y alegria . De ahi comence poco a poco a introducirme en la música practicando y escribiendo canciones . Soy un hombre muy feliz con dos hijos y una familia muy solida . Vengo de una familia humilde y trabajadora . En este momento me encuentro realizando mi sueno tan anelado al dedicarme mas tiempo a la música ; siempre he considerado que la humildad es la llave del éxito y el tener paciencia tambien . Hay momentos que a pesar de que uno quiera dedicarse a su sueno quizás no es el momento que Dios tiene designado ; pero en este ano 2010 considero que ya se llego el momento en brindarles todo mi talento musical como escritor y cantante de mi propia música . Y al poder escribir mi propia letra me hace original en mi genero . Soy amante de la música de Julio Iglesias , Vicente Fernandez y de los boleros de los 80‐s . Quiero crecer en la música pero nunca olvidando quien soy , de donde vengo , a donde estoy , y a donde voy . Y quiero darle gracias a todas las personas que están a mi alrededor por estar apoyando mi carrera en este momento y a mi familia . Gracias Jolie por esta oportunidad y creer en mi . Y a todos aquellos que tienen un sueno nunca se den por vencidos Si se puede !!. Su amigo , Domingo .
