Roger Dinardi

Musician, songwriter, producer, and audio engineer based in Colorado’s Front Range, Dinardi’s story is fascinating due to his unique musical background. Growing up in a strict religious home, Dinardi rarely heard any popular music until adulthood. When he discovered the live music scene, it ignited a passion without genre conventions. Dinardi weaves archetypal narratives into thumping compositions, giving listeners multiple layers to explore—dance to it or dive deep into its meaning. He manages the community studio at Longmont Public Media, helping others realize their visions. When COVID resulted in altered hearing and tinnitus, he faced severe depression and suicidal despair. Instead of surrendering to darkness, Dinardi reclaimed life through music creation. The resulting sonic adventures explore human storytelling, crafted by finding healing through the very love that seemed forever lost to him. Music isn’t just his artistic endeavor—it is a path to sanity and renewed life purpose.
