About this user
You might know her as Jamaica's 'Supergirl', but the singer Denyque is an interesting bundle of talent that grows more and more each day.
The singer got a foot in the music industry in 2009 when she recorded her first single Can't Breathe for Arrows Recording -- the outfit that also managed her at the time. Since then, Denyque has grown tremendously and has firmly stepped into the entertainment stratosphere under the guidance and watchful eye of industry big-wig Jade Lee.
Denyque is not a stranger to the stages, as she was a consistent contestant in the JCDC festivals since she was only 11 years old. Now? She's a singer and songwriter that totes around a level of maturity far beyond her years.
An alumnus of the Belair High School in Mandeville, it's hard to put this artiste in any one genre.
"I'm not here to say that I'm the most versatile artiste in the world. But I don't concentrate on labels. I don't want anyone to label me as a 'dancehall' act or a 'pop' act. I'm an artiste and a creative one at that. I record fun, feel-good music. After we do that, we can worry about the genre," she laughs.
After releasing Can't Breathe, she got a chance to work with renowned producer Don Corleone. That birthed the single Pieces, which lit airwaves ablaze with its catchy melody and lyrics. The combined efforts of Denyque and her new management led to the young songbird recording Summer Love, produced by Neil Mitchell from Cashflow Records. The song was a 2010 hit.
Summer Love ballooned on local charts and began getting Denyque significant international airplay. Fans clamoured for a video, and the artiste responded with her first video.
"Summer Love I think showed growth and that I'm serious about being a part of this industry and finding my place as a singer and artiste," Denyque says.
Her hard work continues to pay off. In 2011, Denyque copped her first award since starting her musical journey, and it was a big one. She took home the Excellence In Music (EME) award for Best New Artiste (2010). The award is highly respected and acclaimed throughout the music industry. But that's not the only first Denyque accomplished in 2011.
A few weeks later she made her debut on the African continent, performing for more than 4000 fans in Kenya. It's an experience she won't soon forget, and one which she describes as "amazing".
Denyque continues to work with talented producers like, Jeremy Harding from 2Hard Records, Neil Mitchell from Cashflow Recording, Stephen McGregor from Big Ship, Jam 2 of Jam 2 Productions and Conroy Forte from Washroom Entertainment as she builds her catalogue of songs.
"Ultimately, I'm ready to show the entire world just what I mean when I say that I'm 'your supergirl' ☺."
Denyque LOVES languages & is a philosophy junkie. She speaks fluent French & dabbles in some Spanish here and there. Along her musical journey, she plans to perfect her language skills along with a host of other things.
