This youthful musician�s life has always been intertwined with the mystery that lies behind music. Music has brought bittersweet struggles, passionate performances, and whimsical successes to Delaney�s life. It all started in kindergarten, when there was a classroom performance of Noah and the Ark.

She reveled in the spotlight and it turned out that not only did she have a brilliant memory, she simply loved to sing. Her inspiration to create her music is simply the music itself. Imagining doing something else is virtually impossible and with that kind of drive and dedication who could doubt that her songs come from the heart - the heart of an amazingly talented woman.

Delaney understands this and it shines throughout her albums. Delaney has hopes of reaching people to the extent that they can put on a certain song from her album and have their mood changed.
