Denean, winner of the 2000 New Mexico "MIC" Award's "Producer of the Year", began playing piano when she was three. "...my background ranges from classical and gospel to my Nashville years as a country/pop singer, songwriter and recording artist. In 1990 my creative focus turned to music for healing and nurturing the soul, thus my true path began." says Denean.
Denean spent over a decade on the Nashville scene. She has worked with Barbara Mandrell, Leon Russell, Ricky Skaggs, Gene Hughes (The Casinos), Connie Francis...to name a few. In 1991 Denean left a recording deal with a country label to join Etherean Music of Colorado where she released "Fire Prayer" (1991), "The Weaving" (1993), and "Thunder" (1994) for which she has received international acclaim. While recording "The Weaving" Denean was also working with Disney's Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz as the voice of Pocahontas in the developmental stages of the animated feature film.
In 1998 Denean formed her own company. Woo Way Intuitive Healing Arts is a combination of a music recording and production company as well as offering intuitive healing, consultation and spiritual teaching based on the Tao Te Ching and I Ching. Music releases are "The Farmers Daughter" (1999), "Breath of Angels" (2005), "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence, An Instrumental Christmas Album" (2005) and Ave Maria, a CD Single (2007). Future releases include a vocal album with a return musically to Native American influences.
