Dean Fertita has always had a passion for music. He started playing piano at 6 and guitar at 15. He went to highschool and became friends with fellow musician Brendan Benson .

Fertita formed the group the Waxwings in 1997. He was the lead singer and guitar player until the bands demise in 2005. He then moved onto touring with Brendan Benson, which led to him touring with the Raconteurs in 2006.
In 2007, Dean joined Queens of the Stone Age playing guitar and keyboards.

In 2009, Dean was staying at Jack White’s house when Jack Lawrence and Alison Mosshart stopped by. They recorded a 7" and just like that, the Dead Weather was formed.

Now Dean is looking to release his solo project, Hello=Fire, to the U.S. The self-titled album is set for a fall release in 2010. The album was recorded at various studios while Fertita was on tour with Queens of the Stone Age. The album features guest appearances by band members from Queens of the Stone Age, Brendan Benson (who also produced the album) as well as The Afghan Whigs bassist, Michael Horrigan.
