DOMENIC HAYNES

Age: 18Hometown: Upland, CaliforniaResident: Tampa, Florida

Domenic was raised in an athletic household with a mom who was a track star and a football-standout dad. Domenic won every track meet he competed in until a hamstring injury in his freshman year of high school prevented him from running for two years. He turned to music and quickly fell in love with singing and songwriting. In his senior year, Domenic was able to run again and made it to the state qualifiers. He had planned to run track in college while working toward a scholarship to USC Thornton School of Music, but that is on hold while he pursues music full-time.
