SINGER/SONGWRITER Denno, currently signed to Master One Production, is now looking forward to the official release of his first set of singles on that label. Among them are Make It, Mi Feel It and Dem Nuh Real. The tunes are already being played in the dancehall and, more recently, on radio.

According to the artiste the feedback has been encouraging.

“We are on a mission to give the massives the type of music that opens the mind and makes people think,” Denno explained. “So it’s not surprising that the feedback is good … but we still feel good,” he added.

These songs fit nicely in a “reality” package and are typical of the kind of lyrics streaming from Denno’s pen.

The singer says his writing is influenced by real-life events currently taking place in the world and the negative effect our lifestyle on the environment.

Denno has previously worked on projects with Earth Production Promotional label, for whom he did a collaboration with singer Ojah, called Prayer for the Haitians. The song has received heavy rotation both locally and internationally and helped to boost the artiste’s visibility and profile. A supporting video has also been made for that single.

A graduate of the Bridgeport High School in Portmore, St Catherine, Denno writes all his material himself and has also assisted other artistes with writing their songs.

The singer, who is clean cut, says he is influenced by reggae icon Bob Marley, Cocoa Tea, Richie Spice, Queen Ifrica and Buju Banton, all of whom are Rastafarians.

“I pattern myself, lyrically, on some Jamaica’s musical icons of yesteryear and also those who are making an impact currently. I look at their approach to work and what they have accomplished musically and set my sights there,” Denno explained.
