"TO BE TRULY BEAUTIFUL COMES FROM WITHIN NOT JUST THE OUTSIDE.....WELCOME TO MY WORLD X
Denise, a successful business woman in her own right, grew up in the East End of London "I was a cockney rebel, I still am a bit of a rebel" Whilst growing up and also for quite a large part of her adulthood, Denise went to a few well established theatre schools in and around London". I went to a couple of inner-city schools they don’t mess around no tippy toe stuff, just straight up acting, they encourage you to work with your raw talent and be true to yourself, some of today’s greatest actors/performers have come out of those schools and I'm very grateful to them, as I think the way they teach has contributed to the person I am today"
At a young age she discovered she had a singing voice "that was by accident at a bus stop. I was singing to myself and was approached by a music producer, at the time it wasn’t something that I was extremely passionate about so a record label executive suggested that I do session singing until I’m ready he put me in touch with an agent and the rest is history." With her new found knowledge, Denise decided to carve a career as a very successful backing singer who went on to tour world wide with her rich velvety vocals delivering such capabilities of anything from a soul diva or a pop princess.
The best job I ever had was touring the whole of Europe with Lisa Stansfield it was my first taste of what it kind of felt like to have celebrity status, at one of our gigs we sang in front of 350,000 people.....I’ve never had such an overwhelming feeling in all my life and as backing vocalists we were appreciated as much as the main act, which was so exhilarating, that’s when I decided to take my singing and acting career more seriously."
Denise certainly does not do things by halves she went on to do more touring, has been on numerous modelling shoots including shoots for clothing giant Hennes, a hott 2 death cd cover girl and appeared on all promotional material, in 2003 she became an official 'Money Girl', for international brand Money Jeans "It was fun being a money girl, this brand is huge, Its a British clothing label but massively huge in America, I mean Jay Z has shares in this company so as well as photo shoots the girls had to help promote the brand which meant we were back and forth to the states, we had such good times."
Denise has also featured in several pop promo’s, magazines such as Pride, Black Beauty, Untold, FHM and Company and featured in TV ads such as BT, The Vodafone campaign featuring David Beckham and the Pepsi campaign featuring David Beckham, Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Lopez. After doing Ads and bit parts Denise managed to clock up enough experience to start casting for films and other TV work, she landed a part in a major British Flick ‘The Heavy’ Starring Vinnie Jones, Gary Stretch, Jeff Bell and Lee Ryan " For my first ever major casting I got the part, I was so lucky to get the opportunity but as you can imagine, I was very nervous but we ended up having such a laugh on set, Jeff Bell (Sam, The Business, Vertigo Films) took us (Denise & Lucie Eloise) under his wing, I cant wait till it comes out, I've been told this summer."
Denise's infectious and flirtatious personality has also landed her into a spot of TV presenting at 20 years old she was picked out of 2000 hopefuls to co- present a live and interacting TV Show for Trouble TV, Sky TV and recently done a stint for Bang Media as an early bird TV Presenter" that was fun I got a really big head though all these men drooling over me, the sweetest thing was when a guy would call in and sing to me, it was funny but sweet, I got offered all sorts…marriage, a record deal, complimentary dining, accommodation, discount on clothes, I'll probably get back into presenting at some point" At the moment Denise is the recording studio helping out a few signed up and coming artists" I Like to help, when I'm done, I’ll be concentrating on my own projects, so watch this space......
