A social worker in training from Berlin, Deena was discovered in 2013 by a Ugandan music producer while traveling in Kampala. Her single Mumulete! ("Bring him to me!"), written in the local language Luganda and released in 2015, was a viral hit in Uganda, leading to a career in Ugandan television and radio. Deena has attributed part of her success to the novelty of being a white woman performing in a local language, which the public much appreciates.{{cite news|last1=Berbner|first1=Bastian|title=Und sie so: "Omutima gunuma nga simulabye": Wie es ist, in Uganda Popstar zu werden – als weiße Frau.|url=http://www.zeit.de/2015/46/uganda-afrika-musik-karriere-luganda-deutsche|accessdate=29 November 2015|work=Die Zeit|date=26 November 2015}}
