Denny is a self-taught German film and video game composer known for emotional orchestral music and scores. He started in 2007 at the age of 22 with no prior training or musical background and primarily studied the works of composers like James Horner, John Williams, and Hans Zimmer before developing his own style and sound. By 2012, he had already released his first album "The First Five Years" which included a 20-minute movement titled "Dreams of Flight." Listeners describe the most notable qualities of his music being the sense of "grandeur and elaborate sounds" and the ability to "inspire touching moments, deep thoughts, and epic adventures."
Denny is a frequent collaborator with the animator Toniko Pantoja, for whom he often scores the music of. His most popular tracks include the scores for Wolfsong and the Annie-nominated Tiny Nomad.
Denny is also collaborators and close friends with Waterflame, with whom he is co-director of Autodidactic Studios.
In 2018, Denny announced he was beginning work on his first indie game, based on a musical score he had previously composed of the same name called Lightyears from Home. Like his efforts in music composition, he taught himself through online resources and experimentation, using Unreal Engine, Maya, and other tools.
