== Army of Lovers == She joined the Swedish pop music group Army of Lovers in 1992, making her debut with the group with "Hasta Mañana", a cover of the ABBA song. Peczynski already knew the other members of Army of Lovers; Michaela Dornonville de la Cour and Camilla Henemark worked for the same Modeling agency as she; she had been at school with Jean-Pierre Barda and had previously had a relationship with Alexander Bard.

== Post Army of Lovers == After Army of Lovers split, she worked as a TV presenter for a number of different Swedish and overseas shows, including the Swedish version of ''Temptation Island'' and her own program, ''Dominika's Planet'', which aired in the UK. In 1998, she posed for the adult magazine ''Playboy''.

In 2002 she launched a public relations company.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.s1100794.crystone.net/?page_id=21 |title=Om Mafioso PR |publisher=Mafioso PR |accessdate=29 June 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120622011508/http://www.s1100794.crystone.net/?page_id=21 |archivedate=22 June 2012 }}</ref>

In 2005 a music project called Nouveau Riche was launched, featuring Peczynski and Ulrich Bermsjö. Their debut single "Oh Lord" was released in November 2005.

After several weeks, she was replaced by another female singer and her contributions to the band were removed from all subsequent releases and marketing tools.
