Artist History Dina Regine formerly performed with the Irish/American band Naked Grape and with Kieran McEvoy in Swamp Honey while she had her deal with Sony Music in the early and mid 90's. She has had several CD releases with other artists that she has co-written with over the last decade as well. Regine is also one of the first women DJ's to grace the turntables of some of Manhattans largest clubs like Limelight, Webster Hall, Heartbreak, China Club & LOT 61. She has also DJ-ed some of the most high profile events in NYC over the last decade. BE AS IT WILL is Dina's first solo effort (divadiva music) as a singer/songwriter and producer. Most of the tracks were recorded in her home studio in NYC. The new CD (currently being recorded) will be a roots oriented compilaton of songs written over the last year and a half, due out Spring 2004.

Albums Be As It Will

Press Reviews "One of the most promising female artists I have heard in many a year...you won't be disappointed" RELIX MAGAZINE. "Moody, soulful and introspective"...MUSIC CONNECTION. "With a hue of Joni Mitchell's BLUE and a freefall caterwaul closer to Sinead, the multitalented Regine weaves, strums and soars with thrilling skill on BE AS IT WILL" AQUARIAN WEEKLY "Deliciously skewed...sometimes densley textured, and other times rendered with a spartan touch...roots music with a modern twist" PERFORMING SONGWRITER. "Superb songwriting and production...ethereal, yet driving in the spirit of U2. Very Cool" MINOR 7TH WEBZINE. "Singer Dina Regine is skilled at belting out a bluesy bellow" HOT PRESS""The raven haired Regine sings with a handsomely seasoned deep voice t hat reeks with heartache that is palpable" IRISH ECHO "This isn't the kind of disc that grabs you by the throat, but rather sinks in deeply with repeated play. Think of sitting around on a summer night with a light breeze, a drink in your hand, no worri es, and you'll get the idea" NY ROCK
