Dino Esposito or Dean Esposito, better known as Dino (born July 20, 1963 in Encino, Los Angeles, United States), is an American DJ, singer-songwriter, and record producer. During the initial up-swing of his career, Dino performed at theme parks, sharing the bill with such artists as Sweet Sensation and Linear. In 1988 Dino released his debut single "Summergirls". He then released his debut album 24/7, from which were released the singles "24/7," "I Like It," "Sunshine," and "Never 2 Much of U." "In the City" was also released, but only as a 12-inch single for club play. Dino developed an even wider fanbase when he became the opening act for New Kids on the Block in the summer of 1989. 1990 saw the release of his sophomore LP, titled Swingin', from which were released the singles "Romeo" and "Gentle." During this time, he formed his own production company and record label, ONID Productions (his name spelled backward). He released his third album, titled "The Way I Am," in 1993 for East West Records, on which he scored his last Top-40 hit, "Ooh Child." A final single was also released, the non-charting ballad "Endlessly." After his singing career faded, he began producing and writing songs with such artists as Tonya Mitchell, Paul Taylor, Jordan Knight, Walter Beasley, Sheena Easton, and Joanna Pacitti.
