On the guitar / keyboard side of things, I have many influences in no particular order, including Pat Metheny, Bob James, Larry Carlton, Joe Sample, Lee Ritenour, Jim Hall, Donald Fagen,Walter Becker, Michael Franks and many others. On the ambient /electronic side, Tangerine Dream, Steve Roach, Massive Attack, the Art of Noise, Vangelis, Claude Debussy, Ravel, I could go on and on...
Dino Frank Pacifici is that consummate artist whose sound and gift is grounded in ambient/chillout music with a jazz influence in combination with his own unique identity.
Born in Montreal on July 20, 1958, DINO FRANK PACIFICI began his musical studies at a very early age, concentrating on classical guitar. In 1982 he received his Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts (music) from Concordia University.
In 1979, Dino's first independent album, "Become a Man" (NAB Records) was released locally, and received radio air play for two years. Three years later, his single release of "Jana's Song" receives local air play. In 1986 he co-wrote NANCY MARTINEZ's 'hit'' single on the "Not Just The Girl Next Door" album entitled "Move Out" (Atlantic Records)
Over the years Dino has kept busy writing Pop-Oriented and Dance music and playing in local bands. Dino has spent many years studying, recording, and performing live in which he continuously expands his musical horizons. He has also released 6 ambient /space music cds since 1994 including Hallowed Ground and The Float Zone and 2 chillout/jazz cds. The journey continues...
Presently, Dino divides his time with his three loves, his family, being a musician and a massage therapist.
