About

Tibi Access founder and Groove Tunes event manager, Dina Bassile is a passionate advocate for inclusivity and accessibility in the music industry. As a person who uses a wheelchair, Dina has lived experience of the Australian music industry’s gaps in accessibility, and created Tibi Access as a necessary means to change the landscape of live music, events and venues for the better. At the core of Tibi is a spirit of inclusivity and a will to open up gigs and events of all sizes to everyone. Tibi does this by recognising and removing barriers faced by people with disabilities. In 2023, Tibi hosted their very first accessible event Groove Tunes. Since this festival, Dina has worked with St Kilda Fest – bringing Auslan interpreters for the first time to the 43-year-old festival. She implemented a Groove Tunes accessible stage to BIGSOUND and opened the festival to artists living with disability. These achievements are just a few since launching Groove Tunes. Her work in the industry is vital, and was recently recognised at the Australian Women In Music Awards when she won the inaugural Tina Arena Special Impact award.
