Trumpeter Dominic Ntoumos is a
single-minded and focused
bandleader. A first-prize winner at the
Royal Academy of Brussels, he
graduated in 1999 and lost no time
making his way in the music
business. As a young jazz musician
he was already turned into his own
generation’s interests - so rappers
and DJs playing in live bands were
as natural to him as guitarists and
drummers. He mixes these
elements with producer’s skill,
perhaps indicative of the
opportunities he has already found to
record for others, including Kesiah
Jones, Martina Topley-Bird, Think of
One and Z-Star.
As part of the band Think Of One,
Dominic Ntoumos shared a
nomination for the 2004 BBC World
Music Awards, showcased live in
Edinburgh. True, perhaps, to his
Brussels origins and Greek roots, he
has made all Europe his home,
choosing to work in his regular band
with UK talents like the prodigiously
talented pianist and composer
Robert Mitchell and the French
drummer Maxime Zampieri as well
as colleagues from his native
Belgium such as guitarist Réginald
Trigaux.
