THE MAN AND MUSICIAN
UPDATED JUNE 22, 2008
Dino DiNicolo has been playing music all his life. He started on the electric organ and later left it behind. To the amazement of many, the simple electronic grooves lingered, leaving a lasting impression and early fuel for the rhythmic master. As the electric bass developed into an extension of his hands and his voice a rhythmic center of its own, Dino DiNicolo became a master musician with a groove so deep that it moves the mind, the body and the soul.
Musically, Dino has captivated listeners around the world. With his humility, innate charisma and honest good-looks, he leaves a mark wherever he performs. His career has taken him to the countries of Hawaii, Japan, Grand Cayman and New Zealand and across the continents of Europe and North America.
He grooves comfortably in many styles of music and has been a contributor to a variety of projects. As a performer, session player and composer, he has worked with – EMI Publishing Canada., Ben Kaplan, Chris Potter, John Parr, Uno Mas, Supertonic, Melanie Dekker, Riley and the Rise, Vancouver’s own The Town Pants, Sherry St. Germain and many more.
Dino has also forayed into the movie industry as well. In addition to recording a jazz CD with Michael Moriarty of the show Law and Order, Dino enjoyed the experience of playing a role in the Disney TV show So Weird. His song “Nothing to Fear” was used in a TV pilot Snug as a Bug. His two solo CD releases 'Beautiful' and 'New Day Baby' have been great independant successes and have fueled the fire for the work on his upcoming third solo CD release.
The impressive list of accomplishments continues to grow from the man who never stops: Dino DiNicolo.
