From being a wedding organist at the age of 13 to a 10-year career running a successful performing arts company and three reputable pop choirs in Melbourne to publishing her first #1 Amazon Best Seller, The Voice Factor, in 2013 a ‘how to sing’ basic book compressed in 5 easy steps, Dene has always worked on projects that connect people and that brings an element of technology into the mix.

One of Dene's giveback projects brought together people from 24 different countries to sing virtually via smartphone for International Peace Day 2016. The song - which was her rewrite of Waltzing Matilda, revamped for a global message was led by multi-award winning artist Kate Ceberano, and the video was shared across social media hundreds of times and received beautiful comments from all around the world.

Today, Dene is the Founder and Creative Director of Branthem®️ and a multi-award winning Sonic Brand Design Agency in Melbourne. With an authentic approach to amplifying visual brand recognition with music for audio inclusive channel reach as well as energised music-based team experiences, Branthem is a dynamic industry innovator in the brand engagement, employee engagement and marketing space, and a culmination of Dene's vision for innovation, her commitment to excellence and her belief in the 'magic' of music to connect deeply and authentically with the beauty in the human spirit.
