David Lewis Doman (born August 3, 1984), better known as David D.A. Doman is an American record producer and songwriter from Evanston, Illinois. He started off his career in the mid-aughts working with Chicago underground artists like Mikkey Halsted, Kidz in the Hall, and Bump J. In 2011, after a few years handling drum programming for J.R. Rotem, which landed him a platinum plaque for the writing of JLS’, "Everybody in Love"— he moved to Los Angeles in search of better opportunities. He is mostly known for producing the songs "Senile" by Tyga, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj and "When I Feel Like It" by Fabolous and 2 Chainz.
Doman started playing drums in fourth grade. When he was thirteen, he bought his first machine, the Roland MC-505. In his sophomore year of high school, he traded his Roland MC-505 for a MPC. Ever since Doman was sixteen, he was always excited to work on music. Everyday he'd just wake up and do the same thing, but he was never bored or tired of it. Doman never really had a musical mentor growing up. In terms of the production, he was self-taught. When he was 18, he got a couple of album placements with Public Announcement, Ghostface Killah, and Trife Da God. Doman and one of his friends drove all the way from Chicago to New York City in a blizzard just to record with Trife Da God. Their rental car got in an accident by an Semi-trailer truck along the way. Back luckily, Paul Cantor, another friend of Doman helped him out in the situation. His first major label placement as a solo producer was a song called, "Candy Coated Diamonds" by 2 Pistols.
