At that time there was no musician in Denis's family and in Denis's neighbourhood. But singing is quite different as Denis began singing much earlier in school singing Benny B and the songs of Snow's Ragga Muffin. Everything took a new route at the time when he heard the voice of "Boyz II Men" on the radio, he began to love their music and discovered another artist of the same kind of music, and this helped Denis a lot.

In 2001, Denis continued to write songs and make a song for Wannadoo Productions for a tropical compilation. Working for Wannadoo Productions, this had opened his eyes on a new horizon that is to produce his own music.

Denis does everything himself - voice, arrangements and recording - with the help of his brother Kersley, which provides the bass vocal parts. "I think positive and my songs reflect my state of mind." This is how the artist sums up this new album, officially launched on 1st June 2012.
