Tina Dico
BAND: Tina Dico
Singer-Songwriter Tina Dico hails from Aarhus.
Having decided to plot the 'indie route' in her
native Denmark, Tina released her first album
'Fuel' in 2001 to critical acclaim. Not happy to
rest on her laurels, Tina's wanderlust took her to
London where she embarked on two years of
musical isolation and discovery.

Along the way, she was invited to feature on Zero
7's second album 'When It Falls'. Featuring on
two tracks, Tina went on to tour the world with the
band.

In the midst of this, Tina found time to write,
record and release a second album ('Notes') and
an EP ('Far') that was released solely in the UK
and North America. This activity culminated in
signing a major record deal with Sony in the UK.

Tina went on to record what would be her most
successful album to date ('In The Red'). The
album was produced by Chris Potter (best known
for his work with The Verve). With the Sony/BMG
restructuring, Tina became a pawn in the merger
and the newly formed Sony BMG gave Tina back
the masters for her to release independently.

Since then, Tina has never looked back. Picking
up several music awards along the way, Tina
continued to tour extensively, signed a licensing
deal with Universal in Germany and gathered
further critical acclaim from all quarters. Tina is
now about to release her 4th studio album
('Count To Ten') and already the critics and
media are sighting this recording as her most
important and personal release to date.  

Tina Dickow born on October 14, 1977 in
Aarhus, Denmark is a singer and songwriter,
inspired by artists such as Bob Dylan and
Leonard Cohen.

In her home country of Denmark she won a
Steppeulv and a Danish Music Award in 2004 for
her album, Notes, and the award for best female
vocalist at the Danish Music Awards 2006.

Internationally, she may be best known for her
collaboration with the English duo Zero 7 on their
second album, When It Falls, with the song
"Home".

In Denmark she performs under her real name,
Tina Dickow.
I stumbled across this young lady quite by
accident during the early days of building
the business. I dropped in on her site and
strolled through her bio and pictures before
cranking up one of the tracks. You would
think that as long as I have been doing this,
that I would always go into something with a
wide open mind. In this case, I definitely
underestimated her abilities by letting the
soft, pretty and youthful looks blind my
judgement (temporarily) of course. When
Tina Dico sings, you stop what your doing
and take notice. Although soft as a feather,
the power in Tina's vocals are undeniable.
The lyrics flow like a calm river, masking the
undercurrent beneath the surface which
pulls you in and under effortlessly. Singer,
songwriter and musician as well, there is
not much she does not do, and she does
them all,  well!

My favorite tracks are "In The Red" and
"Warm Sand". Although she has many
excellent tracks, these two (for me) have an
almost a hypnotic effect when trying to quell
the stress of the days events. We do expect
to see and hear more of this lady as time
goes by, she is a voice on the horizon that
cannot be denied!
