Dominic Bowden has been at the forefront of television in New Zealand for more than 15 years, becoming a household name when he hosted NZ Idol.
Current work
Dominic is currently the face of Hollywood Entertainment for the Sky Network in New Zealand, travelling the world from Cannes to the Oscars, interviewing the biggest stars on the planet, as well as the host of The X Factor, the biggest singing competition ever in New Zealand.
Background
Dominic has graced the covers of magazines, hosted his own successful national radio show and has interviewed everyone from Brad Pitt and Beyonce, to Will Smith and Lady Gaga.
The call to Los Angeles saw him selected as the first ever Kiwi personality to front a live prime-time Network show for Fox hosting The Next Great American Band, Fremantle's spin-off of American Idol. He received rave reviews in both trade magazines, with the Hollywood Reporter saying “Host Dominic Bowden, who has similar duties on New Zealand's 'Idol', is fresher and more at ease than his American Idol counterpart, Ryan Seacrest”. From this opportunity, he has worked on E!, The TV Guide Network, MTV, FOX, VH1, CNN, HLN, Lifetime, TNT and ad-hoc radio such as KISS FM with Ryan Seacrest. He worked in America as a backstage host on the biggest LIVE show on US Television, DWTS with a weekly audience of 17 million people. He's the first and only kiwi face on the E! Channel in Los Angeles.
This has also lead to opportunities behind the camera, working across the full spectrum of non-scripted television, from employment on American Idol and The Voice, to travelling extensively throughout the US on The Supernanny.
MC experience
As for LIVE television, Dominic has hosted every major event in New Zealand, from the Film and Television Awards to the Music Awards and everything in between. Dominic has shown through his vast experiences that he is truly versatile and one of the country's most respected and talented television personalities. Dominic has been voted as one of New Zealand's most beloved celebrities, five years in a row at the Woman's Day Peoples Choice Awards.
