We had the good fortune of connecting with DeLashay and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi DeLashay, why did you pursue a creative career?
I pursued an artistic/creative career because its something I’ve always enjoyed doing. Being a straight A & B student you would think I would choose the path of a more demanding career such as Nursing But music has always played a big part. Whether it was playing in band, being in the choir, or on the dance team

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Well I’ve been singing all my life so I feel it was only right to see if I could possibly share my voice with the world. It hasn’t been easy but it is most definitely a learning experience. I’ve learned so much knowledge from close artist friends that it made the transition so much more smoother. I think the thing im most proud of is finishing and putting out my first EP (Love Trials) I had so many obstacles standing in the way but I Finally pushed it out.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m mostly a homebody so its hard to even say but im quick to guide my people to 7th street. You can NEVER go wrong with bar hopping in that area.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
first and foremost I have to shoutout my manager AKA cousin for giving me that extra push. I feel its such a blessing being able to have him on my side. Also big shout out to everyone on the Royalty label.
