Dino Jelušić is a Croatian singer, musician and songwriter. He was the winner of the first Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2003 (JESC), which took place in Copenhagen on 15 November 2003.[2]
Dino was born in Zagreb (Croatia), on 4 June 1992 currently lives in Zagreb with his parents, his younger sister Lorena and younger brother Bruno. At the JESC he sang "Ti si moja prva ljubav" (You are my first love) and obtained 134 points. The English version of the song is titled "You are my one and only". The performance included playing the piano and dancing as well as singing. Dino is also famous for his popular album release, mainly successful in home country, Croatia. The album, known as No.1 was popular amongst the younger people in Europe, but his success has made it even more popular.
Dino has performed since he was very young, appearing in a lot of stages and festivals from 1998. His breakthrough however, was his appearance on Croatian television's Turbo Limach show for children ("Limač" is Zagreb youth slang for Mali - "little one"), when he was only about 5 years old. Besides his native city Zagreb, he has performed in cities like Cairo (Egypt), Figueira da Foz (Portugal), Alicante (Spain), Bucharest (Romania), Rimini (Italy)and Kaunas (Lithuania) before going to Copenhagen. Dino also appears frequently on Croatian radio and TV as a special guest for popular stations. He has already had his first full length concert held in the Šalata stadium in Zagreb in September 2004, gathering 6000 fans. In 2005 he went on a multi-city tour in Australia, entertaining Croatian communities in Adelaide, Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Geelong, Woologong and Brisbane.
In June 2005, Dino performed as a guest star at the Langeland Music Festival beside Ronan Keating and UB40 in Denmark — the same country in which he had won the JESC two years earlier.In 2008 he took part in CMC short for Croatian music channel,with the single Malena Dino now plays Rock music, influenced by many 80’s artists (Bon Jovi, Europe, Aerosmith) and modern rock (Nickelback, Shinedown, Daughtry).Dino was inspired by the book "260 days" and wrote the song "Prosao sam sve". It's a dramatic story about a 10-year old boy who spent 260 days with his whole family in a Serbian concentration war camp during the war in Croatia in the early 90's.
