After being for many times among the “Essential New Tunes" of Pete Tong on BBC Radio One , Dino Lenny starts singing in 2005 with the pseudo Dino. The British press defines his style a mixture between the Talking Heads and Ian Dury.^[2] Later on Dino was invited by Hardage to take part to his project which includes Jocelyn Brown and Maxi Priest, Level 42 and Peter Gabriel, among others.

In 2007 Dino released the single “Feels Like Home” together with Meck, taking care of the production (with Simon Duffy & Meck) and the vocals. The track entered the UK chart top 40 and was A-listed on BBC Radio One. ^[3] The song was on the soundtrack for the Wembley Stadium opening event, on the occasion of the FA cup final game: Manchester United – Chelsea.

A few months later Madonna used "Feels like home" in a mash up with the old classic “Like a prayer” and performed the new version in 80 countries across the world within the Sticky & Sweet tour ’08/09 creating 'Feels like a prayer'.^[4]

Dino Lenny has recently remixed Missy Elliot and Timbaland's " Get involved" for Ministry Of Sound and Static Revenger for Toolroom ^[5] and will soon release his new album 'Music Is Killing Piracy" (September 2011), which contains collaborations with Tiesto, Mark Knight, Benny Benassi, Tv Rock, Francesco Farfa, Piatto, Meck, Jose Amnesia and his musical partner Simon Duffy.
