Delacey

Brittany Marie Amaradio, known professionally as Delacey, was born in 1993 and raised in San Juan Capistrano, California. Her interest in musical expression began early, with piano lessons at age seven where she composed original pieces, and acting in local musicals by age three. Growing up, Delacey was influenced by a diverse range of artists from her father’s vinyl collection, including Billie Holiday and Stevie Nicks. She also developed an appreciation for 90s alt-rock bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and Mazzy Star, which later influenced her own musical style. This early exposure and encouragement laid the groundwork for her distinctive approach to songwriting and performing.

Delacey relocated to Manhattan after high school, working at a photography agency while performing at open mic nights. This period, though brief, was formative, solidifying her commitment to music. Returning to California, she immersed herself in the Los Angeles songwriting community. Her career as a songwriter gained significant traction, contributing to numerous successful tracks across various genres. Notable songwriting achievements include Halsey’s Billboard Hot 100 #1 song “Without Me,” Dove Cameron’s 2X Platinum “Boyfriend,” and Lisa’s “Rockstar,” which won Best K-Pop at the 2024 MTV VMAs. She also has songwriting credits for artists such as Justin Bieber, Tate McRae, Renee Rapp, Gracie Abrams, and Teddy Swims, demonstrating her versatility and impact within the contemporary music landscape.

In addition to her extensive songwriting work, Delacey has released her own material as a recording artist. Her debut album, “Black Coffee,” was released in 2020, followed by “The Girl Has a Dream” in 2023. In 2024, she co-wrote two original songs, “Kiss the Sky” and “Even When I’m Not,” for the Dreamworks animated film “The Wild Robot.” “Kiss the Sky” received critical acclaim, earning several award nominations and winning a Hollywood Music In Media Award for Best Original Song in an Animated Film. That same year, she released the collaborative album “The Honeymooners” with husband and fellow artist Valley Boy, and her deeply personal album “Crying Over Beauty.” Delacey’s professional journey highlights a consistent dedication to the craft of music, both for herself and for a wide array of prominent artists.
