Biography David and Giselle met in 1999 while both were beginning to explore different musical styles. In late 2005, they began preparing a concept of blending Puerto Rican music with modern day Jamaican music in a way that would emphasize the Latin sound without loosing the urban attitude pre-dominant in today’s music. Within a short period of time, Domino Saints have achieved great things and have captured much attention within many different audiences. With the sponsorship of Marc Ecko Enterprises, the group has showed the potential to receive the vote of confidence of major companies and the interest of the press. They also won awards from Billboard World Song Contest, Toronto Exclusive Magazine, including "Best International Reggae Group" and "Best International Reggae Song", as well as being chosen "New Latin Artist of the Week" by Clear Channel Music in October 2007. They have been featured in Puerto Rico’s top press & TV Stations Univision, WAPA, Teleoro, TuTv. The success they have shared on other music websites such as www.ourstage.com has lead them to earn the FEATURED LATIN ARTIST spot on AOL Music. Domino Saints just finished their first record produced by Pepe Ojeda and working on 2nd album.
