Dommin is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1999 by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Kristofer Dommin. The band is made up of Kristofer Dommin on vocals and guitar, Billy James on bass, Konstantine on keyboards, and Cameron Morris on drums. Dommin released their major label debut album, Love is Gone, on February 2, 2010 on Roadrunner Records.

Dommin's beginning can be traced back to 1999, from early demos Kristofer would record with his older brother, Stephen, playing drums. Over nearly an 8-year period, Dommin evolved into a performing rock band in the L.A. scene. Childhood friend, Billy James, originally joined as a keyboardist in late 2002. He eventually switched to bass when Konstantine joined the band in 2006. The last member to join Dommin was drummer Cameron Morris, who auditioned for the band and joined in 2008 to replace the vacancy left by Kristofer's older brother who went on to focus on his career and family.

In 2005, Kristofer unknowingly had one of his demos reach the ears of producer, songwriter and manager, Lucas Banker who had a production company with his partner Logan Mader, known for his involvement in Machine Head and Soulfly. The production duo agreed to record what would become the band's independent release called Mend Your Misery. The band took to the social networking site, MySpace, and began to promote their music, sell their CD and T-shirts and recorded a video for "My Heart, Your Hands," directed by the band's own Konstantine. Kristofer signed his publishing deal with Reverb, an independent UK publisher in June 2006. Through the efforts of Reverb Publishing and Dirty Icon Productions, Dommin's music was shopped to various labels and management. In late 2006, Dommin's efforts caught the attention of Monte Conner, Head of A&R at Roadrunner Records and signed with them in June 2008.

In February 2010, their major label debut Love Is Gone produced by Dirty Icon (Lucas Banker & Logan Mader) was released. One year prior to the album's release and all throughout 2009, Dommin opened for Combichrist, Wednesday 13, The Birthday Massacre and Lacuna Coil. They also performed at The Warped Tour in the United States.
