Soul Searching: Denaron

posted in: By Genres • Features • Urban

Like many soul artists, this week’s Soul Searching pick was raised on greats such as Ronald Isley and Luther Vandross. Beginning his musical journey in the church at age 12,  Denaron has become a force in the soul and R&B world. Participating in numerous talent shows throughout his teenage years, and winning first place many times, brought his talent to the attention of his fellow competitors. Over the years, these early relationships blossomed into collaborations and subsequently helped Denaron get his name out there to further his career. This type of cross promotion and collaboration is becoming a typical marketing technique in today’s music business, so Denaron clearly knows what he is doing. On the music front, Denaron has become an expert when it comes to writing hooks for rappers, and can be heard on numerous tracks laying down some sweet vocals. Not surprisingly, his music is in rotation on stations in the Houston area. Denaron isn’t just a voice however, he’s a talented songwriter as well. Take for example his song, “Someone to Love”. The track is catchy and smooth, leaving the listener hooked and wanting more. What do you think of the song? Is this something you would listen to? Think he has a chance to make it big? We’d love to hear your 2 cents!
