BIO
Denisse Takes is a bilingual, Dominican singer-songwriter living in Los Angeles, California. She's credited as a multi-genre singer, songwriter, rapper, producer, sound designer and arranger in productions for Ubisoft (Watch Dogs Legion and Beyond Good and Evil 2), Zappos, Jessica Alba and more. A lyricist at heart, her goal is to create experiences that evoke introspection and an appreciation for diversity.
Denisse has pursued music her entire life. Kidney failure almost caused her to lose hold of that dream. Today she is 6 years post transplant and racking up credits thanks to opportunities from companies like Ubisoft and Hitrecord.
