Mick Dimitri – Every Story
“Each story has a beginning and an end and not always its completion in positive colors. This complex, melancholy, but incredibly beautiful instrumental composition tells a very sad story, behind which a very delicate and heartbreaking melody is hidden.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“У каждой истории есть начало и конец и не всегда её завершение в позитивных тонах. Эта сложная, меланхоличная, но невероятно красивая инструментальная композиция повествует очень грустную историю, за ширмой которой скрывается очень нежная и душещипательная мелодия.”

Solo artist and multi-instrumentalist, Mick Dimitri, has written, performed and produced his own material since he was 13. The Italian singer-songwriter has already amassed an impressive UK press support having released his EP Take My Hand in 2021. However, a chance meeting with Girl Named Tom, prompted Mick to consider working with another artist on his forthcoming single, Every Story.
Having been introduced in March 2020 by Ed Sheeran’s mentor and Nizlopi frontman, Luke Concannon, Mick and Girl Named Tom immediately hit it off. Both struggling to adapt to the confines of the pandemic, they instantly became friends bonding over music. Mick shared his track with the band, leading to singer Bekah Lending her stunning vocal to the song. The depth of Bekah’s delivery gave Every Story a whole new meaning. Fast forward 12 months and Girl Named Tom would be crowned winners of The Voice US, adding yet another layer of intrigue to a track that had continuously evolved over a two year period.
Produced and arranged by Mick himself, Every Story opens with sombre piano notes juxtaposed with Bekah’s rich, emotive vocal, as Mick’s smooth, soulful vocal offers a satisfying harmony to the song. In a world where many tracks are heavily over-stylised, Every Story is stripped back and sparse, a brave piece of songwriting that offers no hiding place for the performers,
Mick got his first big break in the music industry whilst waiting tables for Ed Sheeran in 2018. They became friends and Ed invited Mick to open for him on his Divide tour – alongside Zara Larsson and James Bay. His debut EP Take My Hand was released in March 2021 with press support coming from the likes of Contact Music, Fame Magazine, The Vinyl District and many more.
Every Story is due for release on 17th June 2022.
