Dominic David Fike (born December 30, 1995), also known as Dominic Fike (previously L$G or Dom), is an American singer-songwriter, rapper and producer hailing from Naples, Florida.

Fike was raised by a single mother and grew up with a younger brother, Alex, a sister, Apollonia, or “Apple”—who inspired the apple tattoo beneath his right eye—and an older brother, Sean. Dominic started playing guitar at ten, citing pop-punk and rock bands like ​​blink-182, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Weezer as inspirations.

In the early stages of Fike’s music career, he was part of the Southwest Florida-based rap collective Backhouse and rap group ​lameboyzent, the initials (LBE) of which are tattooed on his forehead. He sings about this period of his life in “Westcoast Collective.”

Following his arrest in 2017 for alleged assault of a police officer, Fike released a rough draft of his Don’t Forget About Me, Demos EP. Upon release, Dominic Fike reportedly signed a $4 million record contract with Columbia Records and officially released Don’t Forget About Me, Demos on October 16, 2018.

In 2019, he gained a surge of new fans as boyband BROCKHAMPTON’s leader Kevin Abstract, directed an alternative music video for his song “3 Nights,” titled “This Is Dominic Fike.” He was later featured on two tracks on Abstract’s 2019 album ARIZONA BABY.
