Dominique Magloire developed her passion for music as a child by joining gospel choirs. She gained national and international recognition through her participation in several musicals such as Gone with the Wind, Cleopatra, and The Twist Years. Her reputation also led her to be involved in the productions of Gospel for 100 Voices and Gospel on the Hill.
Dominique Magloire has also explored other forms of vocal art. She studied classical singing at the conservatory and won awards in singing and chamber music. This allowed her to perform great classical works, such as Verdi's La Traviata, Mozart's Requiem, and Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
In 2012, she became a revelation on the television show The Voice by performing songs by Johnny Hallyday. In 2015, she performed in the musical Gospel on the Hill at the Folies Bergère. In 2019, she participated in the show Together hosted by Éric Antoine and Garou. Additionally, she performed in the musical show Menopause, written and directed by Alex Goude. In 2021, Dominique Magloire participated in the All Stars season of The Voice to celebrate the program's 10th anniversary.
