Though the trio of musicians who make up the DEY didn't grow up together, their interests, both personal and musical, were similar enough that when they eventually met they knew immediately that they should work together. MC Divine, who was born and spent much of his life in the South Bronx but moved to Puerto Rico in 1998, had first met singer Élan Luz Rivera (who grew up in New York and made her first appearance on Broadway by age 16, when she played %Cookie in the musical +The Capeman) at Miami's ~Soulfrito Festival in the early 2000s, where they were both performing, but it wasn't until 2005 that they were introduced again.
