Croatian-born singer and multi-instrumentalist Dino Jelusick (ex-Animal Drive, Dirty Shirley, Trans-Siberian Orchestra)has released his first original music in quite some time, the single “Healer”. The ex-Animal Drive front-man is accompanied by guitarist Keller, bassist Luka Brodaric, drummer Mario Lepoglavec and keyboardist Igor Matkovic. Watch the video below.
Dino and his former record label Frontiers Music Srl have been at odds for a while and were recently battling against each other in court. It is not known whether the court proceedings between them have been resolved, however his former band Animal Drive is no longer active, situation that was made public in an announcement via Facebook back on June 17, 2021 .
Jelusick – who has already made a name for himself in the hard rock and metal scene, mostly due to his stellar vocal range – spent most of the 2020 year participating in collaborations with other world renowned musicians like Phil Demmel, Mike Portnoy, Rudy Sarzo, Joel Hoekstra, Felipe Andreoli, Bumblefoot, Tony Franklin, Virgil Donati and others in covers of classic songs like Led Zeppelin‘s “Immigrant Song,” Ozzy Osbourne‘s “Mother Earth (Revelation),” Boston‘s “Foreplay / Long Time,” Deep Purple‘s “Stormbringer” and more.
