After winning several medals in Jamaica National Festival song competitions at 11 and 12 years of age, Denyque went on to be a straight “A” student when attending the prestigious Belair High School in Mandeville, Jamaica. After graduating with honors in 2008, financial restrictions kept her from accepting a scholarship to Berklee School of Music in Boston in the same year, but Denyque still couldn’t resist her calling to music and decided to keep following her passion.
Under the tutelage of Phillip “Juniour Arrows” Linton, Arrows management steered her to her first hit single “Can’t Breathe” in early 2009. She followed up with another hit single “Pieces”, produced by veteran producer Don Corleon, and then continued honing her skills with producers Neil “Cash Flow” Mitchell, Conroy Forte from Washroom Productions, and another industry veteran, producer Jeremy Harding, releasing her latest single , “Super Girl”.
After her stint with Arrows management had ended, Denyque’s efforts would not go unnoticed and one meeting with Jade Lee CEO of Jade Promotions sealed a new management deal in early 2010.

Dynasty
Got me doing unexpected things
Every night me start drink
Ooh
Got me feeling
This relationship's about to sink
Confuse cause I don't know what I should think
Should I stay
Should I go
Hard for me to let go
You say
You love me
I never dream I would see myself
Lonely
But if only
Someone could show me
Ive never felt this way before
You put a spell on me
These nights
Ive seen the worst of me
And I cry
Consistently
Ive tried
Telling myself to leave
Aint nothing ever been so hard for me
No no no
Let you go
Let you go
Its so hard for me to let you go
Let you go
Let you go
Its so hard for me to let you go
I cant let you know
Its so hard for me to let you go
And I cant let you know
Its so hard for me
Me fight fi dis more than you
More than you
Same old show
Nothing else new
Nothing nuh new
But say whatever you want to
And watch your words come back round
To haunt you
Baby
Man like unnu
Mek good girl go bad no
But me nah stress out
And gone like me mad
No no
Me rather act tough
although it hard
Cause I love him
No lie
No matter how hard I try
Still cahh find it inside to
Let you go
Let you go
so hard for me to let you go
Let you go
Let you go
so hard for me to let you go
I cant let you know
so hard for me to let you go
And I cant let you know
so hard for me
I cant let you know
Its so hard for me to let you go
I cant let you know
Its so hard for me to let you go no no no
I cant let you know
Its so hard for me to let you go no no no
I cant let you know
Its so hard for me to let you go
I never knew that you
Would play me like a fool
But I gotta find the strength
To leave you
I never thought that you
Would do me like you do
So I gotta find the strength to leave you
You say
You love me
I never dream I would see myself
Lonely
But if only
Someone could show me
Ive never felt this way before
You put a spell on me

The song ends with Denyque admitting that she never thought her partner would play her like a fool, and she needs to find the strength to leave him. The repeated line "You put a spell on me" suggests that Denyque has been trapped in the relationship, unable to leave her partner's spell.

I didn’t anticipate that you
Would do me like you do
Would treat me this way
