Toms River's 14-Year-Old Musical Prodigy Lands Record Deal
According to Dom Innarella, he has been singing for as long as he can recall.
"Since I could talk," the 14-year-old Toms River native remarked on a Saturday afternoon while taking a break to sign autographs at Charlie's Pizzeria.
He remarked, "I love to perform," His numerous videos on his Instagram account, where he has around 160,000 followers, and TikTok account, where he has over 403,000 followers, demonstrate his devotion.
Teddy Swims, Adele, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, and many other artists' songs are covered in his videos. The video of him meeting and singing for Usher has received over 4 million views.
But Dom just released his first song that he wrote and sang. Within three weeks of its release, "Bout Me" climbed to No. 3 on Spotify's Viral 50 chart and has received over 4.2 million views.
Additionally, it assisted Dom in landing a deal with Republic Records, which is marketing him as "an overnight sensation" and "a rising young superstar."
But it's not the young man's first experience with online celebrity. Readers may recall him from the Brick Children's Community Theatre's "Finding Nemo Jr." TikTok commercial, when his 2023 rendition of "When's My Dad" was viewed millions of times and inspired thousands of memes.

Dom claimed to have composed 15 songs to date, even though "Bout Me" is his first single. According to him, he has been recording in a studio since August 2024 and is excited to release more of his own songs for his fans now that he has signed with Republic.
Despite his rapid rise in fame, Dom maintained his composure and humility, sitting for numerous pictures and signing autograph after autograph on pizza boxes that Charlie's provided. He was always grateful to everyone who asked for his time.
You can follow him on TikTok, Instagram and Spotify!
