Biography

We Are Domi, also known as DOMI, is a Norwegian-Czech electro-pop band, founded in 2018 and based in Prague in the Czech Republic. The band’s crew consists of front vocalist Dominika Hašková, daughter of the former ice hockey player Dominik Hašek, guitarist Casper Bjelland Hatlestad from Stavanger and keyboardist Benjamin Rekstad from Nesodden. 

We Are Domi was founded in 2018 in Leeds, UK. The three met while studying jazz music at the Leeds Conservatoire. The band is known for energetic performances and mixes different genres such as dance, electro-pop and Scandinavian-inspired pop. In August 2020, the band moved from the UK to the Czech Republic, due to the strict virus restrictions in the UK.

In the autumn of 2021, the band was announced as one of seven entries in the Czech music competition ESCZ 2022. The competition was organized by the Czech national broadcaster ČT. On Thursday 16 December 2021, the broadcaster announced that the band We Are Domi had won the competition.
