Not Just a Hitmaker—Denaron is a Hit Dad Too!

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO DENARON’S LATEST ALBUM, THE GENTLEMEN!

In a world where artistry often overshadows authenticity, Houston’s own R&B gentleman, Denaron, stands tall—not just as a soulful crooner, but as a devoted father. 

Known for his velvety voice, heartfelt lyrics, and a signature sound that fuses the legacy of Ronald Isley and Luther Vandross with the freshness of Musiq Soulchild and Usher, Denaron is breathing new life into contemporary R&B.

But beyond the mic and stage lights, there’s a role that defines him even more deeply—father to his 14-year-old daughter, London.

As he celebrates the release of his latest album The Gentlemenwhich dropped on March 28, 2025, Denaron also takes a moment to reflect on his greatest collaboration yet: fatherhood.

“Being a dad to London is my proudest title,” Denaron shares. “Music gave me a platform, but being her father gave me purpose.”

London, a bright and dynamic 9th grader, has grown up watching her father navigate the highs and lows of the music industry with poise and passion. 

She’s his biggest cheerleader, creative confidante, and a constant reminder of why he sings with so much soul. 

When she’s not supporting her dad, she’s making moves of her own—playing volleyball on her school team and studying piano, showing the same discipline and grace that her father exemplifies.

“My dad isn’t just an artist,” London beams. “He’s my hero. He teaches me about self-respect, how to carry myself like a young lady, and how to chase my dreams with focus and faith.”

Their bond is rooted in everyday moments—late-night talks about life, road trips filled with laughter and playlists, and heart-to-hearts over studio beats.

London has even inspired some of the themes on The Gentlemen, an album that champions love, emotional intelligence, and the kind of intentional connection that today’s R&B sometimes forgets.

“Tracks like Deserve It and Privacy come from real conversations,” Denaron says. “I want London to grow up hearing songs that celebrate respect and real love—not just flashy lyrics. I’m creating a blueprint for how a gentleman should show up in life and in love.”

Despite the demands of music, Denaron is intentional about being present. 

He attends school events, cheers London on at her volleyball games, and supports her piano practice—all while teaching her about purpose, perseverance, and the power of faith. 

Having gotten his start singing in church at age 12, Denaron often reminds London that talent is a gift, but character is the legacy.

“Faith is our foundation,” he says. “London sees me pray before performances, and she knows that God is at the center of everything I do. I want her to always lead with heart, just like I do in my music.”

As Father’s Day approaches, Denaron hopes that The Gentlemen not only reaches ears—but hearts. And he hopes that fellow fathers—especially Black fathers—feel empowered to love loudly, lead gently, and show up fully.

“This Father’s Day, I’m celebrating the legacy I’m building through my music—but more importantly, the legacy I’m living through London,” Denaron shares. “She’s my why.”

Whether he’s performing on stage or supporting her from the bleachers, Denaron’s message remains the same: being a gentleman isn’t just a brand—it’s a way of life. And being a father? That’s the real headline.
