Some people just hear the music, while others feel it…..

I’ve always believed that what we listen to says something about us. Where we’ve been, what we’ve loved, what we survived, and sometimes even what we’re still trying to understand.

My music selection will probably tell you more about me than I ever will.

So consider this little corner of Bella Nicci Studios an open invitation into my soundtrack. The songs I love. The artists who catch my attention. The forgotten gems I rediscover. And the music that simply makes me stop whatever I’m doing and feel something.

Through DJ Dina Dean, I’ll share curated playlists, featured artists, old favorites, new discoveries and whatever happens to be playing loudly in my world at the moment.

No algorithms. No rules. Just really good music-and the stories it carries.

Say hello to Heaven.

It has been awhile since I created a playlist for public listening. I feel I am still a bit rusty but I must say it flows pretty good.

This playlist is quite special as well. I put this together just before my trip to Rome in April 2022. It was my first time driving abroad on my own but I handled it quite well in the end. My last destination was four days in Rome. I had a long drive ahead of me and needed music that would not only be calming but songs I could sing too that I love and touched my soul. Starting with Temple of the Dog’s “Say Hello to Heaven” and closing with Chris Cornell’s “Seasons” as the very last song which ended right when I pulled up to the Hotel!

I know some of you may not be feeling this genre but I promise to bring you more very soon. For those who would like to take a musical journey………..I hope you enjoy.
