Dominique Young Unique “Karate” (Official Video)

Dominique Young Unique premieres the video for her newest single “Karate” featuring the multi-talented DJ and artist, Mandy Jiroux today.

The electro-pop song, “Karate” features Mandy Jiroux- most known for co-developing the Miley and Mandy Show with Miley Cyrus, and for her popular dance tutorials featured on her YouTube channel, which has almost 1.2M subscribers- the track was produced by Steve DuBerry and written by Dominique, Steve DuBerry, and Sam Gray.

The riveting “Karate” video cinematically captures the song’s up-tempo energy and narrative, and was produced by an all-star team.

• The award-winning director Jim Swaffield (Trapped in Closet, Britney Spears) directed the super-hero themed “Karate” video,
• Tom Gifford, the 3D master of POP OUT, was tapped to bring a 3D element to the video: during the final hook, the video jumps into a classic 3D look designed pop out when viewed with a pair of red/ blue glasses. Without the glasses, it will look cool as a color offset effect when watched with the naked eye.
• LA-based designer Michael Ngo designed the super-hero costumes in the video. He’s designed for NERVO and outfitted Arianna Grande’s Dangerous Woman tour.
• Actress and martial arts choreographer Leilani Smith choreographed the video. Smith is the female lead in the PlayStation VR #ArchangelGame.

The Tampa, Florida native has already experienced early success and critical acclaim with her sound and beauty.
