“Rebel Dean is probably the most successful male rock ‘n’ roll artist in Britain today.”
Darrel Higham
“Just the name Rebel Dean conjours up an image of some 50’s rock ‘n’ roll idol leaning moodily over a microphone, lip curled, legs astride, with a thousand screaming fans at his feet. I’ve checked out Rebel Dean on stage many times and that just about sums it up!
Rebel is truly versatile, an all-round entertainer who’s an actor, singer, songwriter and musician. Rebel has always been passionate about taking rock ‘n’ roll flavoured music to the masses.”
