Born and raised in Stoke on Trent, Dean knew his future lay in music from a young age. He studied for a National Diploma in Performing Arts. Dean put his studies and talents to good use when he formed the band MARLO in the 90s. The band enjoyed great success on BBC 1’s talent show series Get Your Act Together. A predecessor to shows like Britain’s Got Talent, Get Your Act Together was popular across the country. After blowing away the British public with their debut hit ‘How Do I Know’ they were signed to Polydor. They began touring the nation, culminating in a stunning performance at Party in the Park for 50,000 fans.
All this success led to Dean opening for some of the UK’s favourite musicians such as The Commitments, Ronan Keating, UB40, Five, 911, Sandi Thorn, and Divine Comedy. He has even gone on to appear on major television channels like MTV, the Disney Channel, and Nickelodeon.
Dean pursued a career as a solo artist after this success and made a name for himself in the tribute act circuit. He spent several years fronting successful tribute bands Kaiser Monkey Killers and Kings Ov Leon before developing his brilliant solo indie and soul shows.
