About Me

Denvil - Singer/Writer ....Born in Texas, and raised in Houston and San Antonio, my love of music was sealed after hearingThe Crusaders' "Street Life". I can't recall the exact moment I heard this song as a child, but I remember immediately feeling a deep connection to it. I made my dad play this album all the time and never got sick of hearing it. I began singing around age eleven when a choir director asked me to sing a solo in church. I definitley attribute this experience with giving me the confidence and interest to continue singing. While pursuing my Bachelor's degree in liberal arts at Carleton College, I continued to write and sing in a small jazz band. It was definitely through writing songs that I found a way to cope with my own experiences, and soon realized that this was a way to translate these experiences into something tangible.
