Wherever she performs she brings down the house! The most often heard expression is "how does such a big voice come out of such a tiny person?". Indeed her 5'3" stature hides a voice that rivals the best in professional entertainment anywhere. While her repertoire is strong in classic jazz she also performs material from opera to pop and show tunes to dance.

Denise studied under Chicago's top voice coach Randy Buescher and has performed with area big bands and orchestras. For several years she had her own highly acclaimed nightclub show and has been a frequent guest singer with many other well known entertainers including Victor Pacini, Sam Magdall, Vic Flanagan, Tony Ocean, Jerry Hendrix of the Drifters, and Chicago's legendary Milt Trenier.

Denise is now doing concerts and dinner shows in Midwest performing arts theatres and supper clubs and preparing for the release of her first major album in the Fall or 2008. This project is being produced by renowned arranger, conductor and musician Carey Deadman of Wicked and Jersey Boys fame, and co-arranged by the incredible Jeremy Kahn, pianist of Wicked. With the orchestra being made up of Chicago's finest professional musicians this will be a must for everyone's collection.

In addition to her love for singing Denise also enjoys acting and performing on stage. She works regularly with actor, director and producer Ed Fogell's Chicago Actor's Studio, and has participated in improv shows as well.
