Denisse was invited to sing on Sabado Gigante with the world famous Mariachi Vargas de Tecatitlan. Her beautiful and powerful voice is displayed when she interprets songs by her favorite artists including: Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Beatriz Montes, Shakira and Christina Aguilera, but she truly shines when making an original song her own.

Denisse is very positive and happy little girl and some of her hobbies include dancing, bicycling and skating. Ask anybody who knows her well and they will tell you the same thing -- she can't stop singing for more then two minutes -- it's what she loves to do the most. Her affinity for singing and performing continues to grow with every passing day.
The world welcomes this bright new star. . . . .
