Dominic Fike
Dominic David Fike (born December 30, 1995) is an American musician, singer-songwriter and rapper. He first received recognition after releasing several popular songs to the website SoundCloud. Following the release of his debut extended play, Don't Forget About Me, Demos (2018), he signed to Columbia Records. Fike's song "3 Nights" reached the top ten in multiple countries. He later collaborated with fellow American musicians Brockhampton and Halsey. His debut album, What Could Possibly Go Wrong, was released in 2020. The album charted in the top 50 of multiple countries, including the United States and Australia. He recorded a cover of Paul McCartney's song "The Kiss of Venus" for the album McCartney III Imagined (2021).
In 2022, Fike became a cast member of the second season of Euphoria, in his first main acting role, playing Elliot, a drug-abusing teenager. In 2023, Fike released his second studio album, Sunburn, preceded by singles "Dancing in the Courthouse", "Ant Pile", "Mona Lisa" (a track which is featured in the 2023 superhero movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), and "Mama's Boy".
Dominic David Fike was born December 30, 1995, in Naples, Florida, to Jessica Fike and David Mills. He is Half Filipino and mixed African-American, Haitian descent. Fike has two older step-brothers; a younger brother, Alex; and a younger sister, Apollonia (Apple).
Growing up, both of Fike's parents were heroin addicts. His father was absent for much of his childhood. When Fike was ten, his father re-entered his life for a week, in which time he taught Fike a few chords on the guitar, before he left again. His mother had persistent problems with drug addiction and spent much of Fike's childhood in and out of jail, causing him to stay in different homes, such as those of his older brother, distant relatives or his parents' friends. Fike recalled that he and his brother often had to take care of each other due to his parents' frequent absence from his life. He has also said that he frequently witnessed domestic violence growing up, due to a number of violent stepfathers.
Fike has said his childhood life was "full of adventure," as he and his friends would spend time in a forested area near their neighborhood that they called the "Forest of Avalon", where he said they would eat snacks and smoke cannabis. Fike went to a number of different high schools, including Naples High, Estero High, and Palmetto Ridge High School, graduating from the latter in 2014. Fike briefly enrolled in a college but dropped out after fewer than three days.
Fike was a fan of Jack Johnson, Blink-182 and Red Hot Chili Peppers. He first acquired a guitar at the age of ten and learned how to play songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He and his older brother Sean would often hang out at the guest house of a friend’s home, called the "Backhouse", where they would freestyle. Later they coalesced into a formal rap collective which attracted an audience in the community and Fike formed a sub-group called Lame Boys ENT. Fike started uploading songs on the Internet in high school. The first song he uploaded on YouTube was called "Not A Word". He also put songs he recorded onto tapes.
Fike first gained recognition by making beats with his then producer, Hunter Pfeiffer (known as 54), leading to several popular songs on SoundCloud being published. He released the EP Don't Forget About Me, Demos at the age of 22 in October 2018 as a signed artist, which was recorded while he was on house arrest for battery of a police officer. He later went to serve time at Collier County Jail for violating that house arrest. The EP caught the attention of several record labels and sparked a bidding war. During this time, all of Fike’s independently released music before the EP was removed from streaming services. After being released back in April 2018, he signed with Columbia for a reported $4 million in August. Fike said he used part of his first check from Columbia to hire a lawyer for his mother, who had been sentenced to prison on drug charges.
The EP was released by Columbia on October 16, 2018. "3 Nights" was released as a single the same year. The single gained wide attention and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It had its acoustic guitar sound compared to the music of Jack Johnson. It was placed on rotation on several radio stations and Spotify playlists, and received favorable reviews from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Billboard. In reference to the EP, Billboard described Fike as a "genre-meshing" artist, and later named him a breakout act to watch, calling "3 Nights" a "Motown-tinged breakout track" that is "trend-proof and irresistible". A music video for the single was released on April 4, 2019, to Fike’s YouTube channel.
