It’s a Caribbean Christmas for Deniece as she presents her original Christmas song ‘Santa Claus is Coming’. Celebrating the true meaning of Christmas and also the fun side of the season, the Reggae flavored ‘Santa Claus is Coming’ is an uplifting, joyful sing-along with pitch perfect harmonies and an infectious groove... a modern day Christmas song with all the hallmarks of a keeper.
‘Santa Claus is Coming’ follows her recent single ‘Forever Young’ which is a feel good infused Pop bop which reached No.12 in Music Week’s Pop chart and went top ten in their black Chart. It was taken from a new EP which also featured new versions of two top ten Five Star classics ‘System Addict’ and ‘Rain or Shine'. Deniece is also excited to be putting the finishing touches to her brand-new solo album ‘Free-Queen-See’ out Spring / Summer 2024.
Testament to her enduring popularity Deniece has been welcomed back to the public eye with open arms, including recent high profile appearances on BBC Breakfast, ITV News and Sky News. In addition to the new music Deniece has also been busy on the live circuit performing two sold out shows at Pizza Express Live in London along with a string of other live performances up and down the country. During her time with Five Star, Deniece achieved unprecedented success with over twenty top thirty UK singles, including chart-toppers like ‘System Addict’, ‘The Slightest Touch’ and the anthem ‘Rain or Shine’.
The group holds the distinction of being the youngest British act to have a number one album, the first black group to win a Brit (Best Group 1987) as well as the first group to achieve seven consecutive hit singles from a single album in the UK. After taking a career break to raise her two children, Deniece made a triumphant return to the stage, captivating audiences with her remarkable talent. Her performances in the West End production of the Michael Jackson musical ‘Thriller Live’ in 2009 garnered great reviews, as well as starring in ‘Respect La Diva’ where she wowed audiences with her sensational cover of Beyonce’s ‘Listen’ and a medley of Whitney Houston hits. Deniece's star power extended to international stages, including a memorable performance at the Sydney Opera House in Australia as a lead singer in the show ‘Disco Divas’.
Deniece’s appearance on BBC1’s 'The Voice' in 2012 opened new doors, including an incredible opportunity to support The Jacksons on their UK tour. In September 2013, she released ‘Rafiki Yangu’ (Swahili for ‘My Friend’), a heartfelt tribute to Nelson Mandela and Africa’s pursuit of peace and prosperity. The song, dedicated to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, demonstrated Deniece’s commitment to using her platform to make a positive impact. Following the success of her debut solo album ‘Imprint’, released in the summer of 2014 and supported by a sixteen date UK tour alongside Billy Ocean, Deniece continued to captivate audiences. Notably, she joined forces with DJ and producer Sigala to perform his chart topping hit ‘Easy Love’ on the Top of the Pops New Year's Day BBC1 Special.
