Keep
Your Eye On... Simone Denny
There
is a difference between "singing" and "sanging."
Those "in the know" know that "sanging"
is reserved for a select group of vocalists. In case
you weren't aware, one of those vocalists is powerhouse
diva Simone Denny.
Canadian native Simone is currently being heard by millions,
as the voice of the theme song for NBC/Bravo Television's
hit reality show, "Queer Eye For The Straight
Guy." "All Things (Just Keep
Getting Better)" is the catchy tune which
opens the show for the Fab Five, as the show's resident
gay experts have come to be known. The song is also
the lead track on the "Queer Eye For The Straight
Guy" soundtrack CD, which was recently released
by Capitol Records.
Well-known
on the dance and pop scenes in Canada, the U.K. and
Europe, she is now poised to take over America. Now
a solo artist, Simone is the former lead vocalist of
the platinum-selling dance music group Love
Inc. ("You're A Super Star"), on
Nulife/BMG. Ms. Denny's vocal prowess has earned her
10 #1 hit songs worldwide, 4 Canadian
Juno Awards and 4 Much Music Awards,
including "Best Dance Recording"
and "Video Of The Year."
In 2003, she toured the U.S. in support of her #1
Billboard Club Anthem "I Don't Want You
(Coming Back No More)" on Nervous Records.
It's still in recurrent play on New York City's WKTU
103.5 FM and dance radio stations across North America.
In Europe, she's still heard as the featured voice on
Love Inc.'s releases, as they continue to chart in the
Top 5 across Europe. And she's seen and heard regularly
across the water in England, on their popular BBC Radio
and on their music tv favorite, "Top Of
The Pops."
Born
and raised in Toronto, Simone is of Guyanese heritage.
Her Caribbean Canadian environment exposed her to a
wide and eclectic mixed bag of musical influences. She
grew up listening to calypso, reggae, Brazilian music,
and of course, r&b. Some of her early influences
include Tina Turner, Vesta Williams, Etta James, AC/DC,
Ben E. King, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Donna Summer,
Bryan Adams, Prince, Michael Jackson, and many others.
The lovely Simone began her career locally in Canada
and quickly built up a name and a following. She held
the lead role as "Mama Troy"
in the Canadian production of the American gospel musical
"Mama I Want To Sing." That
play is the longest running off-Broadway musical in
the history of American music. As a testament to her
versatility, she also recorded and performed with Canadian
heavy metal band Damn 13,
Simone
Denny is a dynamic, soulful diva who is distinct in
her desire to embrace all genres of music, with no limits,
transcending all boundaries. "I want to make people
feel limitless, beautiful and empowered," she says.
Her deep-rooted love of music is driving her toward
more musical accolades, as her killer voice, stage presence,
shining personality and total understanding of the verb
"to sang" clearly demonstrate! |
