Early Life and Education

Other popular songs include “Veralu Mal,” “Datha Dara” (featuring Supun Perera and Dhanith Sri), “Rathu Thol,” and “Langa Langa.”

His 2019 album The Best of Dinesh showcased his growing influence. Dinesh has performed in the Naadhagama concert series alongside artists such as Ridma Weerawardena and Supun Perera, captivating audiences both locally and internationally.
