Mr. Benjamins Avatar

Marina Di Giorno, known by her stage names Rina DG and Miss Mโ€™Harley, is a captivating artist who defies categorization. A Franco-Italian-Argentinian pianist, she effortlessly bridges the gap between the refined world of classical music and the energy of contemporary genres like Pop, Rock, and Variety.

Rina’s passion for music began early. By the age of 4, she entered her first competition, and at 11, she was already performing as a soloist. This dedication led her to prestigious European institutions, where she honed her skills. Despite her early talent, Rina never wavered from the discipline required for classical mastery. Her impressive list of accolades includes 3 Gold medals at the CRR de Montpellier at 14, followed by top honors at the Conservatoire National Supรฉrieur de Musique et Danse de Paris.

Rina’s insatiable curiosity extends beyond the classical realm. She thrives on merging artistic disciplines. This desire for innovation is evident in her live performances, where the first half might feature a classical repertoire, transitioning seamlessly into a contemporary set filled with her own songs.


As Rina DG, she embraces her songwriting and performing talents. Her debut album, “Miss Mโ€™Harley,” showcased her alter ego, a bold and colorful persona. This artistic duality continues with her latest releases under the Rina DG moniker. Her single “Remรจde,” released in June 2023, marked the beginning of a new chapter. The accompanying music video further solidified her captivating stage presence, showcasing her transformation from a solo pianist to a Pop Star.

Rina’s creative spirit doesn’t stop at music. She is a strong advocate for environmental causes, serving as an ambassador for the Parco Pollino, one of Italy’s most important nature parks.

Here’s a quick breakdown of Rina DG’s multifaceted career:

  • Classically Trained Pianist: A graduate of prestigious European institutions with an impressive list of achievements.
