From the honeymoon capital of the world, Niagara Falls, singer/composer/multi-instrumentalist/DJ/producer DEE, made the move to Montreal at the age of 18 where he built his home studio and completely destroyed his credit line....
Going solo in 2001, DEE went to work non-stop on his special blend of electro-pop and dance-rock. His 5-song EP released in 2003 snagged Hollywood attention landing DEE’s catchy songs in indie films and TV series including “Grey’s Anatomy”(ABC), “Punk’d” (MTV), “Roswell” (Fox), “One Tree Hill” (Warner Bros), “Tru Calling”(FOX), “Las Vegas”(NBC), “Ghost Whisperer” (CBC), “Joan Of Arcadia”(CBS), the Ford Edge commercial airing Winter/Spring 2007, and many more.
Closer to home, 5 songs by DEE have also been featured in Ricardo Trogi’s latest Canadian flick “Horloge Biologique”. It includes the first single and video from the album soundtrack “Let’s Have a Rendez-Vous” featuring the voice of Mel, a long-time collaborator of DEE.
Produced by DEE himself, his long awaited debut album has been released in Canada in March 2006. Lyrically playful and melodically ambitious, DEE’s power pop is filled with satisfying hooks that remain with you for days afterwards.

Miles and Miles
Dee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like to live on the edge
I like the view from above
I want to do what I want
From miles and miles
And miles and miles on end
To see you from miles and miles
I like the style that she wears
The way she plays with her hair
The ways she smiles when I say
The way she smiles when we play
The way she says it's ok
It's ok
I like it loud when we play
But she don't keep out no writers
I got the key to her lock
She want something that I got
I never run out of stock
And what I want is to see you
From miles and miles
And miles and miles
On end
I like to live on the edge
I like the view from above
I want to do what I want
To see you from miles and miles
And miles and miles
On end
Dee's song "Miles and Miles" is about his desire to see someone he cares about from a distance. He enjoys the feeling of living on the edge and seeing things from above, but it's this person that he wants to see from miles and miles away. The lyrics are a mix of admiration for this person's style, hair, and smile, as well as the chemistry they have together when they play music. Dee conveys his confidence in what he has to offer, with lines like "she wants something that I got, and I never run out of stock." The song ultimately represents a young love that is exciting, fun, and undefined by any particular relationship status.

I have a very unique and cool attachment to this song by Dee. This song was used to promote ABC TV,s Edge Across America on Extreme Make over TV show to introduce the new Ford Edge. Little did I know I was soon to be awarded one of these beautiful cars from Extreme Make over Home Edition! I was in shock when I was informed I was the Award winner for the State of SC for working to help people living with Traumatic Brain Injury in GA, and SC.
