Dominic Arthur finds inspiration in alternative rock and listening to people’s life experiences. He even sometimes pulls from his own life experiences. Writing has always been something he’s enjoyed as he used to write storylines for his professional wrestling figures when he was a kid. There’s never a day that goes by where he’s not conjuring up something in his head. This often leads to a lot of restless nights as he doesn’t know how or when to turn “it” off. He hasn’t found his knack yet, but this may be one of them.
