Denny Dee

Story

I joined my first band in 1980 at the age of 15. Then I started recording in professional studios throughout Philadelphia and New York in 1983. Thankfully, I learned a lot about production and engineering from the information-generous studio personnel at those facilities. I earned my associates degree in electronic engineering in 1990 from the Pennsylvania Institute of Technology graduating with academic honors. After completing school, I resumed playing in various talented bands to the present. I enjoy recording as much as playing live. Currently, my focus is on my newest band Modern Vintage Music. Thanks for checking out our recordings!

It's cool so far.

Self absorbed people that are unaware of their surroundings. People that live life in their cellphones! I didn't even own a cellphone until I was in my 40's, and then my employer bought one for me. And please don't record songs using your cellphone, it sounds like shit and is very annoying.

I go to several concerts each year spending a lot of money on tickets. I have tickets to three future shows as I write this.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

I haven't a clue! The music world is so different than the one that I grew up in during the late 70's and 80's.

I'll let you know when I find one!
