Career

Dines rose to prominence with his metal covers of pop songs.[2][3] His following grew as he collaborated with other artists such as Rob Scallon.[4] Dines became known for playing guitars with unusual numbers of strings.[5] In 2017, he was scammed when trying to purchase a 17 string instrument from a fraud luthier.[6][7] In response, Ormsby Guitars made Dines a custom 18 string guitar.[8][9] The 18-string was auctioned off, raising $20,000 for charity.[10][11]

In 2015, Dines co-founded the band Rest, Repose with Ryan "Fluff" Bruce. He left the project in 2019 to focus on his group Daddy Rock.[12] Dines was also a member of metalcore band Dissimulator.[13]

In 2018, Dines toured with heavy metal band Trivium.[14] He partly replaced frontman Matt Heafy, who had to quit the tour prematurely.[15] Dines and Trivium further collaborated on a cover of "Better Now" by Post Malone.[16] In October 2019, Dines performed on stage with Breaking Benjamin.[17]

In April 2020, Dines appeared on the cover of Guitar World magazine, the first YouTuber to do so.[18] In 2020, Music Man released his signature Stingray guitar.[19]

On December 4, 2020, Dines released a collaborative EP with Trivium vocalist and guitarist Matt Heafy under the name Dines X Heafy.[20] The video for "Dear Anxiety", which is the first track, was released on the same day to coincide with the release of Dines X Heafy.[21]
