Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Infact, one of my early memories is of me sitting in between my mother legs, while she fought with me to comb my nappy head. She would always do things to music and on this day it was Stevie Wonder singing "Superstition". As he got to the horn lines, I began to get my little groove on, mum sang out ( in the places of the horns) 'Don't do that. don't you dare do that. You dirty ol' rat..Rpt). Now to this day I can still hear her as loud as day, and it still brings a smile to my face. Donny Hathaway Made me cry the first time I heard him. It was unreal the way he would place so much emotion into each and every word he sang. What a singer. These days I listen to alot of Musiq Soul Child, frank McComb, Lalah Hathaway, Raul Midon, Angie stone and John Legend. Just to metion a few. Needless to say, I love and breathe music. Peace out: Deni

Deni Hines is without doubt considered one of Australia's foremost entertainers. From hit singles and albums, to lead roles in musicals & television, Deni has grown up in front of audiences from an enthusiastic young performer to a mature, sophisticated all round entertainer. Deni's career began when she was 15. Many performers have quirky or interesting stories of how they were discovered. Deni's story is simple - she was "discovered" singing to the radio in a friend's kitchen. Encouraged to pursue singing as a career, she began touring as a backing vocalist for the who's who of the Australian industry, including the likes of INXS & Kylie Minogue.
It wasn't until Deni began working with The Rockmelons that her true potential began to emerge. As lead vocalist on a string of hit singles, Deni was touted as "the next big thing". The hits - "That Word (L.O.V.E), "It's Not Over" and the hugely successful - "Aint No Sunshine" all became Top 10 smashes, with Deni becoming one of the most well known faces, and voices, in Australia. Fast forward a few years later and Deni released her debut album "Imagination". Signed to Mushroom Records, Deni spent 9 months recording for her debut release in the UK with writer/producer Ian Green. The first single from the album, "Its Alright" smashed into the charts at ..4, ensuring her first solo hit with a platinum award. Further hit singles including "I Like the Way"& "Joy" solidified Deni as a solo star in her own right, and Deni deservedly received an ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Award for Best Australian Debut Performance. The album went on to sell over 300,000 in Japan alone, while the UK release (re-titled to "Pay Attention") result in yet more hit singles and saw her tour with Earth Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan and the Lighthouse Family. In France, "Its Alright" topped the charts for 7 weeks, making Deni a massive star and sought after collaborator. All told, Deni's debut album clocked in sales over 2.5 million copies worldwide. Not a bad start. Not content with just singing, Deni also appeared as Mary Magdalene in the hit musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" - making her the second only black woman in history to perform the role. Displaying her versatility and desire to explore live musical theatre further, Deni also appeared in "Big River", cementing her credibility on stage.
Following her success in France, Deni was asked to work on the soundtrack and 2 songs for director Luc Beeson's film "Taxi", which achieved Gold Status in its home country. Her music has also appeared in other films including the David Bowie film "Everyone Loves Sunshine", and "Australia's "The Wog Boy"; for which Deni recorded a cover of the classic Grace Jones track "Pull Up To the Bumper", produced by The Black Eyed Peas.
Turning her had to television presenting, Deni became the host for Channel V's urban/R&B show "Soul Kitchen". As host for 2 years, Deni showed her quick wit and vivacious personality could excel in any medium, with a balance of both humour and unchallenged knowledge in the urban genre.
2001 saw the release of "Delicious Collection" - a best of album featuring new tracks and rarities. Headed by the new single "Frenzy", the album also included "What Makes You A Man", one of the tracks written for Beeson's "Taxi". The album served as a showcase from her early Rockmelons & debut solo years, ending with hints of her new direction.
For most of 2004, Deni has been writing tracks for her long awaited new album. Featuring songs and collaborations with both Australian and international teams, the new album will showcase a new musical Deni - a sophisticated, urban soul inspired sound headed by an artist who has only gotten better with age and experience. Working with the likes of Rosie Gaines (Prince), The Family Stand (Heather Headley, Tamia), Angela Johnson (Cooley's Hot Box, Roger Sanchez), Jarrad Rogers (Delta Goodrem, Christine Anu, Guy Sebastien) and the cream of the Australian scene, Deni has also proven she's grown as a writer, co-writing many tracks on the album. Titled "Water For Chocolate", the new album is guaranteed to both surprise and delight both her fans and peers, with a new found confidence, direction and image. With a mixture of oh-so-now grooves, heartfelt ballads and sassy beats, its time to finally introduce the real Deni to the world. And trust us, you're gonna love it.

Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends! We've added two blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our page. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too. We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy. Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other. We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large. What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
