She’s
now rated as One of the Caribbean’s Hottest Artistes.
Known to her fans as Saucy Wow for her energetic, scintillating
performances, she has also earned the titles of Soca
Diva and Caribbean Soca Dancehall Queen.
Her stunning stage act and music has been seen and heard
by audiences throughout the Caribbean, across North
America, even across the Atlantic in London, wherever
the Caribbean diaspora can be found. Over the years
she has also become a favourite with the US College
circuit. Just plug her name into any search engine on
the Internet, you are guaranteed to get over 700 hits.
With her long awaited debut album scheduled to be released
in November 2004, it is without a doubt that she is
poised to take the world by storm.
Indeed, the time has come to show the world what Denise
‘Saucy Wow’ Belfon is all about.
Denise Ann Sinoda Belfon was born on November 23, 1978
in Trinidad & Tobago. As a young girl in school,
she was a football player, and was even offered a scholarship
to Howard University to join the all Girls football
team. However, an injury at the time prevented her from
taking up the opportunity.
Denise’s other love from an early age was the
arts. She has been singing since the age of 9, and has
also been a dancer and a model. When she was not in
the spotlight, Denise taught gymnastics at the Belmont
Junior Secondary school and at the YMCA.
In 1990, Denise was discovered by the bandleader of
Roy Cape. She started singing professionally with the
band Black Sheep, before moving on to Sound Revolution.
Her first solo recording was the soca hit “Ka
Ka Lay Lay”.
Since then, Denise has gone on to become the most forceful
female solo act in the Caribbean, having recorded a
string of hit singles: Hard Wuk”, “De Jammette”,
“Saucy Baby”, and “Indian Man”,
that continue to draw frenzy from audiences and partygoers
across the Caribbean and in the diaspora.
These
songs and many others have earned Denise the rank as
one of the Caribbean’s top talents.
“After
I started with the band Black Sheep, I was encouraged
by the performances of Super Blue and Denise Plummer
to pursue a solo career. I would also say that Aretha
Franklin, Billie Halliday and Mahalia Jackson have been
my musical influences since I started in this business.
Their work has always intrigued me.”
