Katie Bain
Hi, I'm Katie Bain from Billboard News and I'm here with Grammy-nominated producer Dom Dolla. Dom, thanks for being here.
Dom Dolla
Thanks for inviting me. I appreciate it.
Katie Bain
I want to start by knowing exactly what you were doing when you found out you were nominated.
Dom Dolla
I was in bed. I woke up, checked my phone, and started cursing. Honestly, it was a strange morning at my house in Australia. It's like it's the award that all my Australian friends and family understand is like the highest echelon of music. Honestly, that's been the coolest part. I just came home to Australia with all my family and they were, you know, upset about it.
Katie Bain
Sure. They understand how big what you see is, that maybe they don't understand what your daily life has actually become.
Dom Dolla
Yeah, like the uncles and aunts at Christmas dinner… like, oh, okay, it's actually like, 'you're doing pretty well with music production and songwriting.' Either way.
