“In 2007 I started doing a lot of research on European DJs like Tiësto and David Guetta. I started dreaming of that prominence, creating this impulse that electronic music has, using drops in my songs. I continued to do what I always do, that is, producing and composing, however, putting my name in front of the songs and calling artists for collaborations. At the beginning the Brazilian public didn’t understand much, because I didn’t sing, but I was the main one. After I published a sequence of songs, I decided to create a label called ‘Baile do Dennis’, very visually inspired by Ultra Music, but playing funk, and it worked!”, She said Dennis in one of the reports during the panel.
