A descendant of the Kpelle tribe, Daniel Tom George was born on September 1, 1984, in Bong County, Liberia. He developed an interest in music at a young age and joined his church's choir. DenG's family relocated to Ghana during Liberia's second civil war; he attended Achimota School while living in Ghana. DenG returned to Liberia and studied business at the United Methodist University. He started his music career as an R&amp;B artist before venturing into Afro pop music, and was featured on Emma Smith's single "I Want to Go". DenG gained prominence in 2013 after being featured on Queen V's hit single "Jue You Bad", which also features vocals by Tan Tan. In 2014, he released the single "They Vex", a song that addresses the jealousy associated with fame and recognition. His management team announced a tee-shirt collection, featuring the phrase "If they vex, let them buss", would arrive in Liberia. DenG collaborated with F.A and Soul Fresh to record "Ebola is Real", a hipco track that informs Liberians about ways they can protect and prevent the spread of Ebola. Recorded in colloquial English, "Ebola is Real" was created in partnership with Liberia's Ministry of Health &amp; Social Welfare and the radio station Hott FM.
