She was at school, during one of the usual “super intense” 12-hour days of study, when Shaun called her and told her that the song was signed to Spinnin’ Records. The first big break was a song she and Shaun Frank wrote called “In My Hands” that was picked up by Lush & Simon. It was at the school where she met Shaun Frank, with whom she has collaborated on pretty much all of her music. It changed my life.”įrom there she dove deeper into music, joining every choir she could in high school, and then she applied to and was accepted to a private post-secondary school for performing arts in Toronto. I’ll never forget the first day I was able to actually play through a whole song on my guitar and sing it all the way through. “The next thing I know she bought me an acoustic guitar, put me in singing lessons and guitar lessons and finally, I had been putting my poetry to music. Her mother heard and poked her head in and, instead of getting her in trouble, asked Delaney if she wanted guitar lessons. Her mother rented her brother an electric guitar and an amp and, when he was gone one day, Delaney snuck into his room and started playing. It changed my life.” It wasn’t until she was 13 when music entered her life in a tangible way.
