About DenG

Born 1984. DenG is a songwriter.

Daniel Tom George (born September 1, 1984), who is known professionally as DenG, is a Liberian singer and songwriter from Bong County. He started his music career in 2000 as an R&B artist before making a guest appearance on Emma Smith's single "I Want to Go". DenG rose to prominence after being featured on Queen V's 2013 hit single "Jue You Bad". He started his music career as an R&B artist before venturing into Afro pop music, and was featured on Emma Smith's single "I Want to Go". In 2014, he released the single "They Vex", a song that addresses the jealousy associated with fame and recognition.

DenG collaborated with F.A and Soul Fresh to record "Ebola is Real", a hipco track that informs Liberians about ways they can protect and prevent the spread of Ebola. Recorded in Kolokwa, "Ebola is Real" was created in partnership with Liberia's Ministry of Health & Social Welfare and the radio station Hott FM. However, in a telephone interview with LIB Life, he stated that the purpose of his post was to determine whether Liberians were still interested in his career. DenG first announced plans for the video's release earlier that month. DenG was nominated for Listener's Choice at the 2016 MTV Africa Music Awards, becoming the first Liberian artist to receive a MAMA nomination. In late 2016, he performed with Christoph the Change, Kcee and Tekno at Beach Jam, a concert sponsored by Lonestar Cell. On June 9, 2017, DenG released the Sarkodie-assisted track "Janjay", which was jointly produced by Liberia's Stone Luckshine and Ghana's Possigee. Prior to the song's release, DenG enlisted Kcee to appear on his track "Make Dem Talk". In May 2018, DenG planned the first leg of his American tour, which culminated with a performance in Washington, D.C. In June 2018, African Entertainment Management Group (AEMG) announced via a press release that they terminated DenG's management agreement. In August 2018, DenG performed at the One Africa Music Fest, becoming the first Liberian act to perform at the festival. Held at the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island, the festival featured additional performances from Wizkid, Flavour N'abania, Tekno, Sarkodie, Cassper Nyovest and Diamond Platnumz.

2020–present: "Sanitize" and New Seh In 2020, DenG collaborated with Takun J, Sundaygar Dearboy, Tan Tan, Soul Smiter, Odemz, and Amaze to produce the hipco song "Sanitize". The artists released the song in order to raise awareness about COVID-19 and encourage Liberians to practice good hygiene. DenG released his debut studio album, New Seh, on August 23, 2023. The album has twenty-five tracks and features collaborations with PCK, Barsee, Boifatty, and King Buju, among others.

Personal life In January 2018, The New Dawn newspaper reported that DenG's brother Smith George died in Margibi County. George's body was discovered with foam around the mouth.
