DEDE is represented by notable Music Lawyer Elliot Resnik.
The member of DEDE, Tim K and Deanne Reynolds, joined forces with Waajeed to form group Tiny Hearts in 2011.
The group's artist influences include Serge Gainsbourg, Françoise Hardy and Stereolab. Their musical influences are French Pop, combined with jazz funk, Baroque pop and 90's trip hop. Their sound often incorporates vintage electronic keyboards.
The band is labeled a "dream pop" and "poppy" band due to their nostalgic lyrics and 60's aesthetic, crunchy drums and haunting lyrics. Dede's music combines live drums recorded in a classic breakbeat manner with vintage organs (Farfisa and Vox organs) and other keyboards, overlaid with heavily effected unison female vocals and pop melodies.
