Biography
Johnnie Dee and Derry Grehan, principal and founding members of Honeymoon Suite, met when introduced by former manager Steve Prendergast in 1982. Deciding to work together, they formed Honeymoon Suite (suitable indeed, given that Dee is from Niagara Falls, Ontario and Grehan is from St. Catharines - as close as one could get to the Honeymoon capital of the World).

In 1983, they decided to enter the Homegrown Contest put on yearly by Toronto's Q107-FM radio station, and Prendergast approached his friend and producer Tom Tremeuth to produce it for them. "New Girl Now" won the contest based on the buying public's response and Bob Roper at WEA Canada was so impressed with the song, he signed them.

The rest is history.
