Dominic Panganiban (born September 27, 1990 in Manila, Philippines)[1][2] is a Filipino/Canadian YouTuber and animator more known by his nickname and YouTube channel Domics.[3]

The channel generally posts videos Domics animates in which he tells a story about his life, an aspect of it, or his thoughts.[4] As of September 2018, this channel has over 750 million views and nearly 6 million subscribers, ranking him in the 658th place for most subscribed. His videos have been featured on multiple websites, including NewNowNext,[5] the Malay Mail Online,[6] and CBS News' website.[7] In November 2014, he joined the multi-channel YouTube network Channel Frederator Network. Prior to doing so, he had been working for a similar YouTube network known as Fullscreen. In July 2015, he told USA Today that compared to Fullscreen, "Frederator was a better fit, because they cater more towards animation channels."[8] Dominic originally drew online comics, hence his screen name "Domics", a combination of "Dominic" and "comics."[2] He discontinued this to create YouTube videos full-time.

Personal life

According to one of his videos entitled "My Ancestry Results", he is related to Lani Misalucha, a popular singer in the Philippines. It was also mentioned in the video that he was part Polynesian and 1% Indian.[9]

YouTube

In July 2010 Dominic started a web comic, to be posted on Tumblr. This would later be called Domics, as his brand. He then created his main Youtube channel, Domics, in August 2012, shortly after graduating from Ryerson University with an architecture degree.[2] By this time, he had already got over 100,000 followers on his Tumblr account.[10][11] The very next day Dominic posted his first video titled: "Domics:Rural". This then set the tone for his channel. On his third video titled "Relation ship status" he took the vlog type style from Swoozie and then began using this format for the majority of his following content. Since opening his YouTube channel, he has gained nearly 6 million subscribers[12] and 751 million views in 163 videos (September 2018). His most popular video, titled "Crushes" was released September 26, 2016 and it has 21 million views as of Autumn 2018. He releases multiple videos every month, each accumulating anywhere from a million to 8 million views.[13] His monochrome animations generally consist of him talking about either specific experiences in his life or more general topics, although he occasionally posts a chromatic one.
