Dominic Ingham is a violinist, singer and composer who seeks to combine violin techniques from his folk and classical background, in order to create a unique way of playing jazz violin. His compositions are influenced by those of Pat Metheny, Ambrose Akinmusire, Vince Mendoza, as well as classical composers such as Ravel and Debussy. Dominic's quartet features Jonny Mansfield (2018 Kenny Wheeler Jazz Prize winner) on vibraphone, Will Sach on Bass and Luca Caruso on drums. They explore new musical spaces through this unusual line up as well as performing "modern day lullabies".
Dominic has performed in a broad range of musical contexts, most notably with Bonsai - 'one of the most talked about and critically acclaimed young bands on the UK scene'. He's also performed with Jonny Mansfield's Elftet, Camila Meza's Nectar Orchestra and indie rock band Blaenavon. Dominic has toured extensively across the UK and Europe in venues such as Ronnie Scotts, Love Supreme, The Royal Albert Hall, EFG London Jazz Festival, The Barbican, Heaven and Band on the Wall. Most recently Dominic was a semifinalist in the Seifert International Jazz Violin Competition, where he performed compositions from his debut album 'Role Models' (2020).
'Role Models pays homage to the people that have encouraged and inspired me to complete this work', explains Dominic. 'I would never have had the confidence or the drive to create something of my own if it hadn't have been for the love and encouragement given to me some truly incredibly people'.
