Early Life
Denalane, the third of six children, was born in the Berlin-Schöneberg, the eldest daughter of a German mother and a South African father. A little later, the family relocated to the Kreuzberg dictrict where Denalane spent much of her childhood years.
At the age of sixteen Denalane left home and started focusing on music with first stage performances and the joining of the reggae and soul bands Culture Roots and Family Affair. At nineteen she was signed to a major pop label but she and her management could not agree on what her music and image should be like and Denalane soon asked for a release. Afterwards she moved to Stuttgart where she met DJ Thomilla and Tiefschwarz (two already well-known producers active in the Kolchose) with whom Denalane co-wrote and produced the club hit "Music".

We see th’appearing buds, which to prove fruit
Hope gives not so much warrant, as despair
