Born under the zodiac sign of Cancer on July 10th, 1987, Dennis J. Warrington is a native of Castle Bruce, a tiny village on the Nature Isle of the Caribbean: Dominica. He is the youngest of 7 children, born to a loving Christian couple. Dennis was raised in the church where he first took a liking to music. He was also introduced to a number of musical instruments at the tender age of 7, which he has mastered playing over the years.
At age 11, Dennis joined “Genesis”, a gospel band, with whom he started performing live. This experience fostered a deeper appreciation for the way he ministered through song and enabled him to improve his command of the instruments he had grown to love. Over the years, Dennis’ prowess on the keyboards, drums and guitar became more evident and he continues to hone these skills in his musical career presently.
His migration to Anguilla, a smaller Caribbean territory than his homeland, in 2012, did not curtail his musical career; in fact this journey allowed him to blossom as a musician. Teaming up with Darius James and his brother Jonathan Warrington in the band “True Intentions”, afforded Dennis a number of opportunities to showcase his talent. They performed together in and around Anguilla and on many of the neighbouring islands. He has strummed his guitar and tickled the ivories for many well-known artists like Omalie 360 at local hotels, boutiques, restaurants and Bankie Banx at the Moonsplash Reggae Music Festival; where they backed the artist Pressure and many other world-famous artists.
Dennis’ musical career is not limited to singing and playing music; his keen ear for quality singing and rhythms has enabled him to launch himself as a producer. This new ‘cap’ has enabled him produce music for local and regional artists such as Omalie 360, Darius James, Shawn J, Devine Songz and many others.
Dennis currently works as an educator/ engineer/ producer at the Anguilla Music Academy. He also enjoys creating beats and writing music in his home studio. Dennis continues to seek opportunities to improve as a musician and is always open and willing to try new things.
