Delaney Gibson

Artist Information

Biography

Performing nearly all her life, Delaney Gibson, a vocalist, pianist, guitarist and ukulelist, has studied classical music from the age of nine. Her extensive training in music and vocal performance includes a Bachelor of Music with a concentration in Opera, from California State University, Northridge. As a vocalist she has backed musical legends such as Barbara Streisand, Andrea Bocelli, David Foster, Barry Manilow and more.

Delaney has played more than 1,000 engagements across the United States and Europe and recently completed a UK tour, as a backup singer with the popular band Wheatus. She has starred as a singer and dancer on the Fox TV Show, “Boston Public” and on the MTV Show, “My Own”. Delaney has been a vocalist on numerous TV segments, shows and commercials including: Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Emmy’s, Chevy, Ebay, and even Baywatch! Her song “La Di Da” has been featured on MTV’s “The Real World” and Oxygen Network’s “The Bad Girls Club”. Most recently, Intel featured Delaney in their latest Intel-Inspired Ultrabook Commercial. Delaney placed 3rd in the world at the Eisteddfod Music Festival in Wales. Her winning performance was broadcast live on the BBC. Delaney is a proud member of the Screen Actors Guild and ASCAP.

Despite all the professional work her vocal ability has provided, her real passion has always been her own songwriting and performing. She has released two full length albums of her original music, The Worst Kind of Way and Hurricanes and Forget Me Nots. Her third album, Tall Like the Tree, is slated for release in September 2013. With her own brand of “Torch/Pop” she blends the theatrical sensibilities of Rufus Wainwright, effortlessly with the unabashed prowess of Florence + the Machine.

Tall Like the Tree is her most daring and raw work to date. Delaney wrote over 72 songs while living and defining her sound in New York City. With the direction of Producer Bartholomew, they went into his Los Angeles studio and came out with 11 cinematic, brave and intimate tracks. A woman with soul and substance, Delaney is ready to release her new music on the world.

(Think about mixing Christina Aguilera’s chops and Jenny Lewis’s bashfully endearing delivery and you get the idea.) A blend of piano based pop and sultry edginess makes Delaney Gibson the real deal.”
