Dom Holyoake is a British drummer, producer and composer. Having started studying the drums at a young age, Holyoake switched focus to electronic music production in the years after, rediscovering the drums aged 16 and was subsequently awarded a place on the jazz course at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

 

Since then, he has involved himself in a wide variety of projects, both in and outside of jazz music. He is a founding member of math rock outfit Ranger, and holds drumming, keyboards and synthesiser programming credits on their upcoming album, Lagoon, from which two singles are already available. He has toured extensively around the UK with jazz fusion band Boomslang as a drummer / programmer (appearances of which include at 606 Club, Matt and Phreds and Peggy's Skylight). He is a core member of alt folk / post rock band Brette Wolfe, who have appeared at such venues as Windmill Brixton and Band On The Wall (Manchester), and whose debut album In Case You Forgot What A Blackout Looks Like is set for release in late 2026.

Within straight-ahead jazz, Holyoake regularly plays as a member of the Josh Bailey Trio, who have appeared at B:Music Town Hall supporting Jazz at Lincoln Centre, at Eastside Jazz Club (Birmingham) and at Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul Festival (Birmingham).

His own project, Toyo Links (a duo of drums / synths / DAW with BBC Radio Scotland Young Jazz Musician of the Year, Ben Shankland), serves as the primary outlet for his distinct, original and creative voice as a producer.
