Performing Songwriter Magazine called Dina

Regine's style 'roots music with a modern twist'. That pretty much sums it up. Over the years, this hat-obsessed gal has made a name for herself wearing more than one hat. Musician, photographer, and club/event DJ are the titles Regine juggles with a fierce passion. Her photographs have been seen in numerous publications/books, record covers, galleries, and has her work in two museum collections. Her DJ clientele reads like a who’s who in the entertainment and art world. The NY Daily News said, “Bring on Dina Regine and the metamorphosis is astounding”. Some highlights include launching the Gugenheim Museum’s ‘First Fridays series, Richard Gere’s ‘Healing the Divide benefit Concert at Lincoln Center w/ Phillip Glass, Tom Waits, and His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, and Keith Richards (her hero) surprise 50th birthday bash.  “My life is turbo charged,

and the brakes rarely work” says Regine.

     While working nights doing telephone surveys, Regine spent most of the time sneaking long distance calls to her buddy, the late Mike Bloomfield (Bob Dylan, Super Session) in California. They were brainstorming the perfect band they planned to form (never materialized), when she met a co-worker who just signed a deal with Roulette Records and needed backup vocals. Needless to say, it was a learning experience for Regine, and it led to her singing with Jimmy Cliff on his live record, produced by Andrew Loog Oldham (Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Donovan).  Shortly after, Regine went on what was to be her last audition as a backup singer in New Jersey for Bruce Springsteen. It was the ‘Boss’ himself who suggested Dina should start thinking about fronting her own band. She took his advice.

     After three bands, (Dina Regine Band, Naked Grape and Swamp Honey), a publishing deal with Warner Brothers in the 80s and Sony Music in the 90's, Regine went solo, and kicked off her new venture opening for Jorma Kaukonen at Irving Plaza. She has since released two homespun CD's, 'Be As It Will' (1999) which later garnered her an award for her song ‘Beautiful’ for best folk song by ‘Song Of The Year’, and in 2005, she released a 5 song EP called 'Blame It On The Moon'. She also released a holiday single (2008) called 'Forever Christmas Eve. 

     In November 2014, ‘Right On, Alright’, produced by Regine and Nik Chinboukas hit the streets. Steven Van Zandt picked the opening track ‘Gotta Tell You’ for his TV series Lilyhammer, and in January 2015, he welcomed ’Gotta Tell You’ to the Underground Garage on SiriusXM as ‘The Coolest Song In The World’. Her video for the first single ‘Dial My Number’ was also Video Of The Day on the Underground Garage. ‘Broken was in the top 100 pick in New York Music Daily for 2014, and ‘Fences’ was in the top six pick for December 2014..The Aquarian Weekly who called her album “a vintage -fueled ride”, picked Regine as an act to watch in 2015. Right On, Alright!
