You know how it works: pretty female singer gets signed by a big record company, marketing men crank into gear, budgets are spent and, with a bit of luck and a prevailing wind, you’ve got a hit. That’s how the record business works. Or… you could do it Tina Dico’s way. That the 27-year-old has beaten Coldplay and U2 to Number One in her native Denmark is impressive. That she has won the Best Songwriter Grammy and been voted Best Composer at the Danish Music Critics Awards is no mean feat. But the fact she did all this by putting out her music herself – without recourse to the marketing muscles of A Big Record Company – makes her unique. In an age of gimmicks and payola, text-in talent contests and image-first/music-second rock posturing, Tina Dico did it the other way: on the strength of her songs.
