| 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! Doc Morgan |
