About Dendee

Who is Dendee?

Dendee grew up in the north London suburb of Wood Green. As a child he was very keen to pursue music and joined the Salvation Army band. During his time there he learned to play the cornet, but he really wanted to play an instrument that helped him to write songs. Mum and Dad came to the rescue and bought him his first guitar.

He taught himself to play, and before long the songs began to emerge. With basic recording equipment and plenty of creativity, he started laying down early song ideas at home, building the foundations of what would later become Dendee Music.

It wasn’t long after that he landed a publishing deal with the world’s largest independent music publisher, peermusic. At first there was great enthusiasm from both sides, but when the songs didn’t take off the partnership cooled. So Dendee did what real musicians do, he kept going.

Life after that mainly consisted of playing in a band a few nights a week and working as an engineer at Cherry Recording Studio during the day. He still managed to dedicate some of his spare time to song writing.

In February 1994, he made a bold move to Florida and embraced the emerging world of digital recording. Home studio technology had finally become affordable, so he purchased the needed recording equipment and began recording the basic tracks that would later form his first solo album, I’m a Limey Redneck in Chicago.

In June of 1999, Dendee and his wife moved from Sarasota, Florida to the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.

A year later he constructed his very own recording studio in the basement of his house. It was within these four walls that he mixed his first solo album which was released in the year 2000.

He later went on to record and mix his second solo album, I’ve Got a Feeling in my Water, which was released in 2003. One of the most popular tracks on this album, I Want a Cup of Tea, reached top 40 status on the NBC charts and was also featured on the Adagio Teas website.

Lost in Aust in was Dendee’s third album which was released in 2007, it took 4 years to complete, and the wacky title reflects his mood after moving to Austin, Texas.
