User:Dennis Delano (Zanger)

Dennis Delano is a singer, dancer, songwriter and producer. Born on November 3, 1969 at Dijkzicht Hospital, in Rotterdam, Holland. As the youngest of six children.

In 2006 as the lead singer of the Beatfreakz a dutch DJ group, Dennis sang a sample from Rockwell's hit "Somebody's Watching Me", which peaked at #3 in the UK Singles Chart in May 2006 and peaked at #12 in the Dutch Top 40. It debuted at #36 in the Belgium UltraTop 50 and peaked at #45 in Australia. It also debuted at #3 in the German Official Dance Chart. The video was a parody of Michael Jackson's hit Thriller. Dennis is also the original voice of the cover song P.A.T.M. (Billy Jean), from Starzoom.

With no formal education for music, Dennis plays several instruments. He thinks, (like Prince says): “I don’t believe that anyone can teach you art”. He shared the stage with many great artists like for instance the American singer Barbara Lynn of the hit song, (If you should loose me), Kylie Minogue, Oscar Harris, The Pasadenas, Big John Russel etc. He was able to get a record deal at Space Records of singer Big John Russel. They recorded a view singles for Daimiyo Jackson, a Dutch Michael Jackson impersonator. One of the first releases was the song "Get On The Floor", a duet with Dennis and Ruth Jacott. In 1996, Dennis came out with “Believe”, his first track of his album Intro. Because of bad promoting unfortunately, in spite of good critics, the sale didn’t hit off. A few years later another track of the album hit off. “Intro”, this one ended the same way. He was introduced by John Russel, to a producer of a small German record company, who made their living out of cover music. Because of his voice, they wanted him to sing in songs of Michael Jackson, that was set in rhythms for dancing schools. He sang in 16 tracks, in four days, (working five hours a day). The album has and still is a major success for lots of dancing schools throughout the world.
