At 20 years old, this singer/songwriter has reached a level of musical maturity that is far beyond her years; and with a distinctive and innate talent that promises to be one of Jamaica’s finest, Denyque is determined to take her place in music history.

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.

Denyque
Oh, Oh Yea
Don Corleon

Now our love is through, yea

I'm broken on this ground
Raindrops falling on me

My tears they flow so freely
That they're like raindrops too
& you're nowhere to be seen
Because you're gone
& the pieces that I'm in
they can't be mended
& my tears won't go away.

I didnt know that you could be the one
I didnt know that you could make me fall so hard
Baby then let me go
You tore me into pieces
I didnt know that you could be the one
I didnt know that you could make me fall so hard
Baby then let me go
You tore me into pieces

Fragments of memories that refuse to fade
The smell of your cologne
& you in picture frames
Drives to the beach
& sundays in bed
Racing through my mind yea
All the things we used to do
Pieces of our "Once Upon A Time"

I didnt know that you could be the one
I didnt know that you could make me fall so hard
Baby then let me go
You tore me into pieces
I didnt know that you could be the one
I didnt know that you could make me fall so hard
Baby then let me go
You tore me into pieces

Bridge
I'm torn down
Ripped apart & thrown across this ground
Dont know what to do
Cause I'm goin crazy without you
Next to me
I need you to love me
I need you to hold me one more time I didnt know that you could be the one
I didnt know that you could make me fall so hard
Baby then let me go
You tore me into pieces
I didnt know that you could be the one
I didnt know that you could make me fall so hard

Baby then let me go
You tore me into pieces

Now our love is through, yea
Our relationship has ended

I'm broken on this ground
I am shattered and devastated

Raindrops falling on me
It is raining and I am emotional

My tears they flow so freely
I am crying uncontrollably

That they're like raindrops too
My tears are as abundant as the rain

& you're nowhere to be seen
My ex-partner is not present

Because you're gone
My ex-partner has left me

& the pieces that I'm in
I am brokenhearted

they can't be mended
My heart cannot be fixed

& my tears won't go away.
I cannot stop crying

I didnt know that you could be the one
I did not expect to fall in love with you
