Italian American born named after his grandfather (Dionigi in Italian, and Dion in American),His parents decided to name him Dennis on his birth certificate with the suggestions of their close friends because of the popularity of the character "DENNIS THE MENACE". Dennis began singing at the age of 6 years old where he started in the music industry since the early 60's. Originally from the Fordham section of the Bronx, relocated to Pelham Bay in the 80's and presently resides in Westchester NY.

In 67, Atlantic Records had an interest in signing a recording contract for a song written by Fred Kaplan and Dennis Dell but, the deal fell thru due to Dennis leaving for the mlitary. After returning from the military, Dennis was asked to become a member of the Mello Kings in which he did from 71 to 72. After leaving the Mello Kings he reformed his orignal group The Destinares then later changed the name to "DESTINY" in the mid 70's performing at various night clubs in the tri-state.
