About Dee Dee York
Dee Dee, born on June 7, 1991 in Aurora Canada, moved with her family to the Netherlands when she was three years old. Dee Dee composes her own songs both, text and music and wrote her first ballade “Nothing else I can do” when she was only thirteen (13) years old.
Her sweet and warm voice, combined with a solid rock base, fascinates from the first moment and gives her songs a pop/rock character. Sometimes sensitive and subtle, then again with a spiky rock sound. Her rock song “You’re all you think about” was in March 2008, for a period of four weeks #1 of the top 40 at the charts of the Dutch musicians site MusicFromNL.
