What is the songwriting process like for Dino Ciccarelli?
Personally, it really depends on how I am feeling that day. Sometimes, I sit down and write my thoughts to turn into lyrics. Sometimes I work on music by exploring specific sounds of music to write to. And sometimes I come up with one-liners that pop into my head at the most random times. Songwriting can be stressful sometimes, but only the best comes out when the rhythm flows.
What is your favorite part of being a musician?
My favorite part of being a musician is definitely performing live. The energy of being on stage with a band of good people who have the same passion for music as you do only makes the performance better.
What's next for Dino Ciccarelli?
I am currently working on the second record. This time around I am taking the time to live a little and experience potential things to write about. I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to listen to The Beginning and I can't wait to show you guys the next chapter of my life story. I want to make you guys proud.
