Dina Regine Music and Art

Native New Yorker, pizza, and egg cream lover, Dina Regine refers to herself as a creative juggler. Published photographer, DJ, singer-songwriter/performing musician are the things that keep Dina busy. After Regine’s deal with Sony Music with her band Naked Grape, she went solo and has released 3 independent records, ‘Be As It Will’, ‘Blame It On The Moon’, & ‘Right On, Alright’. In 2018, Regine released a side project single & video with The Rousers called ‘Take A Ride To The Lower East Side’, a Ramones inspired tune, paying tribute to her favorite neighborhood downtown. The song got its debut on WFUV, opening the Cavalcade show. Regine’s most recent full length record ‘Right On, Alright’, that the Aquarian Weekly called “A Vintage-Fueled Ride”, & Twangville described as “A little bit of blues, a little bit of country and a whole lotta gritty soul”, has garnered her world-wide airplay, and made Steven Van Zandt’s top 20 ‘Coolest Songs In The World’ list on the Underground Garage. Several songs from the album were featured in the movie Black Widows, and the opening track ‘Gotta Tell You’ was featured in Lilyhammer. 12/1 Regine released a side project called The Sunflower Sessions with Mark Plati (David Bowie), Charlie Giordano (Bruce Springsteen) and artist Noah Hoffeld, a 3 song EP covering Bob Dylan and Lead Belly. Regine is currently working on a new full length record called Astoria, her childhood neighborhood,
