Dina Alexander is a NY-based musician, with extensive credits, composing, producing, editing, arranging/orchestrating, and musical directing. Ms. Alexander has worked in a wide variety of media and in a multitude of styles – including, Pop, Jazz, Dance, Classical, Rock, World, New Age, Broadway and Country. She employs the use of both acoustic and digital instruments – her favorite combination. Then, having full technical understanding, Dina is able to engineer, edit, compose and produce the product in her own Upper West Side studio and, when needed, can perform all the parts herself – a great tool for cutting client costs.
The daughter of an Italian opera singer, Dina has always seen the world through melody. With a chameleon-like sense, she can communicate the spirit of any genre with keen stylistic understanding. Ms. Alexander approaches her work with an indefatigable verve and passion that brings the colors, sounds, and textures of her music to life. She's been called "Danny Elfman, James Horner & Rachel Portman all rolled into one…. As for songwriting, Dina gives a great hook!"
Dina wrote the theme for the Harmonic Convergence, which was simulcast in over 60 countries. Dina wrote the 2nd act show-stopper called, Someone Who Loves Me, for a production of Little Lord Fauntelroy, about which Celeste Holm said, "What a Song! ‘Someone Who Loves Me’ tears your heart out!" She conducted and wrote a complete score for an Off-Broadway production called Child of the Universe. The finale from that show, an electrifying anthem, entitled "Dare to Dream", sparked an Inner City Project which aids the needy. Dare to Dream was awarded the Momentum Golden Hammer volunteer award by Bronx Borough President, Fernando Ferrer. Dina's other Musical Directing credits include Hello Dolly, Carousel, Camelot, South Pacific, Annie Get Your Gun, Sweet Charity, Funny Girl. Ms. Alexander also received a commendation from the United Nations World Peace Prayer Society for a composition called "To All of Us."
Dina has also been active in the art world, composing, editing (in various languages), and producing music, narration, and sf/x for documentary tours for Museums around the world -- from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian, to the Vatican and China’s Forbidden City. Some of the narrators for the projects Dina has produced/scored/sound designed are David Bowie, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Kathleen Turner, André Braugher, Peter Ustinov, Candice Bergen, Gregory Peck, Sam Waterston, and Maria Shriver.
Dina wrote the score for a film entitled The Fanatical Teachings of Julian Tau for Rebellion Pictures. Dina has recently completed editing a film entitled The Trip There for Mignanelli Films. Ms. Alexander produced, composed, and arranged songs for a World Music group called Magica. The CD is entitled, Worlds Collide.
Dina is a published poet. She has been awarded the Editor's Choice Award from the International Library of Poetry and is included in Who's Who of Poetry. Dina has also been nominated for Poet of the Year, 2004 and 2005.
Dina's music can be heard on MTV's Real World in the U.S. and International segments. She was the music specialist for a Christmas songbook, Christmas Carols: 75 Songs of the Season to Share, published by Oomf!/Gramercy Books, a division of Random House.
Ms. Alexander is in the midst of writing the book and composing the score for a musical fantasy, entitled… well, we can't tell you that right now. It's top secret.
That's a taste of a few things on the fire at this time. If there's a style that you want to hear or a specific artist or project for whom you have a musical need, don't hesitate to ask…. Dina can get it to you yesterday!
Ms. Alexander is right-brain/left-handed and a hell of a lot of fun to work with.
