Dom Mar KZ
"An unbelievable night of spectacular live music in benefit of Montage Support Services was
presented to all in attendance on this brisk fall night at the Vaughan City Playhouse Theatre
courtesy of multi-talented Instrumentalist Dom Mar KZ, who was backed up by the mind-blowing
Shining Star Band.
Having been a fan of Dom’s work for the past 32 years, saying that I was looking forward to
seeing this show was an understatement. I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Having seen Dom evolve
from being the hard rocking Bassist of Graffiti Knox who made his professional debut in 1991 at
Toronto’s legendary (yet sadly defunct) Rock ‘N’ Roll Heaven (along with his now Brother-In-Law
and one of the Shining Star Band’s Guitarists - Lu Cachie) to becoming one of the most
extraordinary and respected Musicians in Canada today was guided by a pre-determined fate.
And his fan base across the Globe continues to increase via exposure through International Radio
and Online Publications.
Besides his Brother-In-Law, Dom was also joined on stage by his son Joe Marchese (Keyboards),
Nephews (who also happen to be Lu’s Sons!) Andrew DeVita (Drums) / Carmen Cachie (Guitar),
Eugene V (Bass), Daniel Monte (Violin), Piero Nunziata (Guitar), and Enrico Galante (Saxophone).
This assembly of exquisite talent was enhanced even further with the Meta Centre Performers,
followed by Prado and Juno Award Winner Liberty Silver, who mesmerized the audience and
shook this Writer to his core with their stunning presence and vocal prowess.
Some of the many stellar (pun intended) tracks churned out included “Destiny”
,
“In Through The
Fire”
,
“Need A Favour”
,
“My Lady”, and “War”
. Combined with a mesmerizing visual
background comprised of photographs and memories from significant periods in Dom’s life, the
mentioned songs combined with others included in the Shining Star Band’s set were taken to a
deeper level as the Audience came to know and forge an even stronger bond with the Artist via the
undeniable magic of music.
I genuinely hope that this will be the first of many more performances to come from Dom Mar KZ
and The Shining Star Band as their chemistry and passion tore the Vaughan City Playhouse
Theatre’s roof off. Mega thanks to Laura Tonelli of Let Signature Events for her hospitality and
months of hard work in making this successful concert in aid of an excellent charitable cause a
reality!"
Ahsaas Chaudhary Live
"Ahsaas was absolutely fantastic! We hired him to perform for my father-in-law’s 80th birthday, and he sang beautifully for a little over two hours.
I had asked him to create a mix of older classic songs along with newer, well-known favorites that the senior generation would enjoy, and he completely understood the assignment. His song selection was perfect, his voice was beautiful, and he created such a warm, joyful, and nostalgic atmosphere for the celebration.
Our family and guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance, and he made an already special milestone birthday even more memorable. I would highly recommend Ahsaas for anyone looking for a talented singer for a family celebration or special event!"
