Deena is the voice of Donna Troy (Wonder Girl) in the DC Universe Game produced by Sony Online LLC and Warner Brothers. She also played the part of the Red Lantern, one of Faust’s Magents, a good scientist, and a bad scientist.

Deena’s vocals most recently appear on Red Hunter’s (of Peter & The Wolf’s) new album - Traffique’s Endless Weekend Mixtape. Her voice is along side Dana Falconberry and Sophia Knapp and Red Hunter himself.

You can also hear her on Low Red Center’s self titled album put out on CD by Instinco Records and on Vinyl by SS Records. Her voice is along side Yasmine Kittles of TEARIST on the S/T album. You can also hear her voice along side Christine Aprile of Silent Diane in some Low Red Center unreleased tracks and a self-released Low Red Center tape double sided with Lead Pipe.

And if you want to catch her sexiest voice, you can listen to her ask for one more kiss on MVSCLZ’s hot track “Fascination Across the Nation”.
