Bio

Is there a word that takes the term "triple threat" to another level? Well if so, then that's the word that should be used to describe Dominique Rougeaux. This native Texan realized her love for music while singing in her church choir. Growing up on Houston's southside, Dominique used her deep rooted belief in God, and her musical talent to stay off the streets. An avid music lover by age 4, she began singing solo in churches in the Houston/Metropolitan area, and by age 6, began traveling to other cities, showcasing her musical talents, which soon earned her the nickname "The Little Southern Songbird". By age 10, Dominique began competing and winning countless talent shows, and also writing gospel as well as R & B. Already an accomplished singer and songwriter, Dominique added actress, dancer, and musician to her resume. "I am definately not a dancer, I mean I love the way music moves me, but it's nothing that i'd consider real dancing like Ciara or Beyonce, now those girls are real dancers. I hear a song and if the beat moves me I move with it, but that's so not dancing". By the time she was 15, she had already performed in a number of musicals including Oklahoma, Dorothy in "The Wizard Of Oz", The Lady In Brown, in "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enough". She also had multiple parts in "Salvation", which was written and directed by Good Times' Ja'Net DuBious, and became the National Anthem girl for WNBA basketball games, and The Houston Aeros home games. However, Dominique isn't looking for super stardom, but with her long list of talents, stardom is inevitable. She has performed at the famous Rainbow Room, B.B. Kings Blues Bar and Grill, the Apollo Theater, and the Sugar Bar in New York City, owned by the late Nick Ashford. She has also performed at The Houston Colliseum, and along with her girl group Entyce, opened for Envouge, Mya and Boys II Men, "I started singing very young, even before I actually understood what the word singing even meant. I remember singing myself to sleep when I was like 2 or 3 years old, but I had no idea that years later it would be what it is today, and I would be blessed to have done the things that i've done and the things that God has planned for me in the very near future". This near future include the release of her debut solo project titled "The Soundtrack To My Life", and also a spoken word project titled "Conversations With God", chronicling the recent near death battles with kidney failure. "I am truely, truely blessed to have gone though what i've gone though, and lived to tell the story. No one is ever "too young", death doesn't care if you're 2 years old, 22 years old or 102 years old, it doesn't matter, you just have to thank God for every day above ground, even if it's a bad day, and RIDE THIS MUTHA till the wheels fall off.
