Born Paloma Ayana Stoecker in Paris, she moved to London with her mother after parents split up, and after a couple of years, became very close with her step-father, a DJ and owner of an independent record label. It was through him that she developed a passion for music, and it was when he tragically died in 2002 that Stoecker decided to become a musician in his honour. A couple of months after his death, Stoecker took up the piano and wrote her first song, at the tender age of 12. When she reached sixth form, she studied music technology to learn how to record her own songs, leading to the creation of her first demo tape in 2008. After a friend of hers with connections to Choice FM heard the tape, they passed it along to anyone they knew associated with major record labels, and at the age of 17, Stoecker took the stage name Delilah and signed to Atlantic Records.
Wisely, Stoecker and Atlantic both decided to bide their time before releasing any material officially, and it wasn't until September 2011 that her debut single “Go” was released. Thanks to a large degree of hype that had built up around her thanks to her frequent collaborations with dubstep titans Chase & Status, the single hurtled into the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart at number 17. The beginning of 2012 saw her perfect her live show, supporting Emili Sandé at the start of the year before touring with Prince himself in May. Her debut album “From The Roots” dropped in the summer, and was an even bigger success, breaking the top five of the albums chart with aplomb. As the missing link between The XX and Chaka Khan, the sky really does seem to be the limit for Delilah, and even with all her success, she's still yet to reach her prime. For that, she comes highly recommended.

Watching a DJ who knows hoe to give a great performance as well as simply playing their tracks from their booth is something incredible to watch, and witnessing Seth Troxler’s performances with his quirky dancing and great interaction with the audience was awesome. His techno and house fusion was perfect to get the audience going, and form the moment he shouted ‘I wanna hear everyone screaming, and see you all dancing’, the crowd were totally dedicate to his performance He’s played at massive clubs all over the world, and know exactly how to please an audience. His variation between his remixes, tracks with samples, and original tracks is great, and he kept the audience enthralled from start to finish. He played through the entirety of Aphrika EP, which he worked on with Wolf & Lamb, and even got some of us in the audience to sing along to the samples into a microphone he had.
She show was over 2 hours long believe it or not, but it flew by with all the dancing and the energy that was radiating from Troxler. It was a fantastic show, and great to see some genuine talent from a DJ for once!
As far as big voices go, ‘trip-hop for the new millennium’ star Delilah definitely delivers. The not long out of college popstrel has been igniting dancefloors and speaker systems since 2011, when she perfomed on fellow Londoners Chase & Status’ track, ‘Time’. Her powerfully melodic voice and impressive sultry-whisper-to-belting-roar vocal range combine effortlessly with both her more ambient, soulful beats and her amped-up electronica floor-fillers. Citing Portishead, Massive Attck, Amy Winehouse and Nine Inch Nails as some of her musical influences, it’s clear that the girl has a lot to offer musically. The garage-meets-soul-meets-dubstep approach of her debut album ‘From The Roots Up’ has been thoroughly well received, with the singer selling out large venues like the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London.
I saw Delilah a couple of years ago at the Ile Of Wight-based festival, Bestival, and thought she was fantastic. Having only heard her collaboration with Chase & Status previously, I was blown away by her beautifully powerful voice and her unique blending of genres. The ravey single ‘Go’ and the buzzy ‘So Irate’ were both crowd-pleasers, and the party didn’t slow down even when the singer performed one her more soulful songs, ‘Come Home’, a ballad that she dedicated to the death of her stepfather. Throughout her short time on the festival stage, Delilah held her own and put on a great, true-to-record performance.
