Denyque heads to Kenya

After collecting the first award of her career last Saturday when she walked away with the Excellence in Music and Entertainment Award for Best New Artiste (Female), Denyque heads to Africa to host the Insyder SKIZA CHAT Awards.

Denyque is also a nominee for an award at the event set for April 16 in Kenya.

"I'm not even thinking about winning. I'm just excited about the opportunity I've been blessed with, to visit and perform in Kenya and possibly other countries in Africa. I know my music has been getting crazy airplay and getting more and more popular on that side of the world, and I'm looking forward to meeting some of my fans there," said the elated singer.

Last Saturday, after winning her first EME award, the singer had said,"I feel amazing. Like I'm definitely 'Supergirl'! I'm really grateful for this honour and, just wow."

She said that 2010 was a special year for her, and that the work would continue in 2011.

"Last year, when I went to the EMEs I was just a guest. Just to be nominated was a great feeling, and then for me to also win the award just has me speechless."

Charted

Her singles Summer Love, Supergirl, and Juggling Hearts have charted in several countries in Africa, and she fields requests for dubs and specials from DJs from the region daily.

When she returns, Denyque plans to hit the studio to finish working on some singles, before heading to New York for more studio time with overseas producers and performance engagements.
