Joseph Dene is a 28 year old singer/songwriter, who has risen up from the streets of Liverpool, bringing with him the most distinctive voice and soulful sound in decades.
Dene is a one-off: a credible, organic artist whose wildly varied musical apprenticeship includes busking, performing solo, forming bands and even reaching the judges' houses stage of X Factor at the age of 18.
Joseph first expressed his creative instincts through poetry and only turned to songwriting when he was given a guitar for his 16th birthday. His remarkable voice has earned comparisons to Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker and Mick Hucknall Already hotly tipped by industry insiders as a rising star, Dene is ready to raise the standard for male Brit artists, who in recent years have sometimes been overshadowed by the huge success and popularity of female artists.
His songs radiate the maturity, sincerity and sheer heart of a young man from humble beginnings who has endured many of life's hardest knocks.
