Without music, life would be a mistake.

About Me

Based out of Atlanta Georgia, DEKE DEAN blends a modern sound based on the earliest beginnings of RocK & Roll, Rock-a-billy and Country. Matched with clever lyrics and a soulful delivery, DEKE DEAN fashions exciting and original songs. His repertoire ranges from heartfelt ballads to hard-driving rockers and some very twangy rock-a-billy numbers. DEKE DEAN's music is timeless and endearing. Many critics have drawn comparisons to such artists as Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and a modern contempory, Chris Isaak. However his music stands on its own. Compared to some of today's alternative rock and hip-hop induced pop, his music is refreshing, forceful and rootsy. Americana! DEKE DEAN'S tunes reflect true orginality with a straight forward approch. If your looking for a new sound, slick imagery and a alternative to the alternative, DEKE DEAN is the answer! The new DEKE DEAN album, ANYWHERE BUT HERE, coming soon . . .

Modern Music

Is it just me or is the modern rock we're hearing on the radio these days sounding a bit stale? I mean the recordings just dont sound very dynamic....
