Dirk Hamilton's music career began in the early 1970s in and around Northern California. Wanting to make records, he ventured to Los Angeles and quickly caught the attention of influential producer Gary Katz--at the time working with Steely Dan. Katz arranged a deal with ABC Records and produced Dirk's first album, You Can Sing on the Left or Bark on the Right, using elite session musicians that included Elliott Randall, Jeff Porcaro, Victor Feldman, and Larry Carlton. Dirk had his own vision about the way he wanted to make his music and put together his own band and co-produced Alias i with Stephan Goldman. These days he tours Italy at least once a year with his American band and once a year fronting an Italian band. He also plays solo and with his band here in the United States. Six of Dirk's albums have been released on Italian labels. Dirk Hamilton is all that and more, and he continues to hold true to his stance that his career be conducted without compromise.
