Tina Dico (born Tina Dickow Danielsen〔(''Lokalavisen Esbjerg'', 5 February 2013 (Danish) )〕 on 14 October 1977) is a Danish singer-songwriter. She founded her own record label and releases her music independently, enjoying large success with her albums in her home country as well as critical acclaim across Europe. She is inspired by artists such as Tracy Chapman, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. In Denmark she performs both under her real name, Tina Dickow, and under the adopted name Tina Dico as well. ==Background and early life== Tina Dico was born in Åbyhøj in Aarhus. At a very young age, her father who owned a big Hi-Fi stereo system in their basement introduced her to music. Tina's interest in playing music started in 8th grade on Åby Skole,(or in English, Åby school) where she played in the cover-band 'Mel' who among other songs did a lot of Jimi Hendrix. This passion for music made her attend a boarding school called Sejergaardens Musikefterskole in 10th grade. When she started in high school she helped form the cover-band Fester Kester, who played at high school parties. At the age of 20 she got a part in the slightly erotic TV-show Karrusel, where she played opposite the 41-year-old Peter Steen and Michael Falch. The show was on Danish TV in 1998.〔("Karrusel" (1998) )〕 After playing the part, she had a lot of offers for other roles, but since she did not like being typecast as a naïve girl from Jutland, she rejected them all. After high school in 1997 she began at Aarhus University, where she studied comparative religion. But music was her passion, and she soon quit the university to study at The Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus. Which she eventually also quit to pursue her dream as a professional singer/songwriter. In 1998, Tina introduced the other members of the band 'Fester Kester' to a song of her own, and their enthusiasm led them to enter, and win, two talent contests the same year: "Talentspot" on Danish TV2, and "Vi har scenen, har I musikken?" (We've got the stage, do you have the music?) in Aarhus. The band "Tina Dickow and Sheriff" was formed in 1998, and later that year the single "Your Waste of Time" was released. It was picked as "Song of the Week" on Danish National Radio, DR P3, and led to some degree of fame. After all this success, quite a lot of correspondences with different major record labels began, and the rest of 1999 was spent in endless negotiations without results. The band had an acoustic tour around Denmark and a few concerts with full band in Copenhagen and Aarhus. A single containing "26 Friends" and "Different" was recorded as a prelude to the annual Scandinavian "Venue" tour, which the band was part of in 2000. They were paired with American singer Sandy Dillon and played concerts in Vega, Copenhagen, and Norway and Sweden. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tina Dico」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
