Denise "Saucy Wow"[1] Belfon (born 23 November 1968, in Trinidad) is a soca and contemporary R&B songwriter and dancer.
Early years
As a young girl in school, she was a football (soccer) player and was offered a scholarship to Howard University to join the all-girls team. However, an injury at the time prevented her from taking up the opportunity. She has been singing since the age of nine, and was also a dancer and a model. When she was not performing, Belfon taught gymnastics at the Belmont Junior Secondary school and at the YMCA. Belfon is of Saint Lucian and Trinidadian descent, but also has Grenadian, Barbadian, Jamaican, French, and African ancestry.
Singing career
In 1990, Belfon was discovered by the bandleader of Roy Cape. She started singing professionally with the soca band Black Sheep, before moving on to Sound Revolution. Her first solo recording was the soca single "Ka Ka Lay Lay". Belfon went on to record the singles "Hard Wuk", "De Jammette", "Saucy Baby",[2] "Indian Man",[3] and "Work" (1999). "Work" was sampled in 2000 by New York house music duo Masters at Work,[4] and has since been sampled in at least 20 more songs.[5]
