Miami native Domenica Fossati, Latin Grammy-winning flutist, recording artist, educator, and the front-woman for Underground System, has made a name for herself as a versatile artist. She was influenced by a wide range of musical styles, including jazz, rock, and hip-hop. As a result, her work oscillates between art, music, and pop.

An advocate for music education, Ms. Fossati is a teaching artist with several music programs and is co-artistic director for OneBeat Sahara, a collaborative musical exchange program between artists from the U.S. and Sahara region.

Underground System continues to reinvent their global dance music brand, remaining a force determined to recreate, redefine, and reconstruct. The journey from humble beginnings taking the purist approach to interpreting Fela Kuti’s musical style to an authentically original, internationally touring indie-dance band is a story just beginning to be told.
