ABOUT DALEA
Dalea is a Mexican-American Recording Artist, Actress and Fashion Designer for the Intimate Apparel Industry; she emerged from New York City.
Her professional pursuit as an artist began in 2008, when she downsized her corporate career in Fashion Design to focus on her life as an Artist, starting with music.
She founded the now defunct Symphonic Pop band Quimera Music (2009 - 2013), her artist moniker became 'Quimera', after her band. Her first album “Love and Madness” (out of circulation) was released with the Argentinian label Twilight Records. She followed up with a self-released album titled “IMMORTAL”.
In 2013 she began pursuing a solo career and debuted simply as Dalea. While self-producing single releases, music videos and cameos in film soundtracks, Dalea began writing and recording her solo debut album titled ‘VISITOR’, released May 24, 2016 to kind nods from critics and her audience.
As an alto with a special timbre (think Alison Moyet, Tanita Tikaram, Diana Ankudinova, Macy Gray) it took nurturing to find her singing fingerprint; she feels that with her album VISITOR and fowrad, her singing voice is properly utilized.
In 2018, Dalea began acting training, her goal being to perform exclusively in roles that mean something special to her. Dalea frequently shares that her life-long love for the arts has nothing to do with seeking fame, yet everything to do with honoring her artistic inclinations. Her favorite genres are Fantasy, Science Fiction and Action.
Dalea is the producer of The Treasury of Life Series (TTOL), and La Musa Imperfecta, (TTOL's counterpart in Spanish) they are micro-films series featuring fables, poems and original writings meant to uplift and inspire. Via the TTOL she also encourages people to donate to children charities or simply to be a positive force in this world. On February 6, 2022, Dalea released the first episode of TTOL, A dream is a wish. Throughout 2022, The treasury of Life Series has been mostly narrated by Dalea; in the future she plans to feature special guests.
Dalea has a profound interest in using her public life to help underprivileged abandoned or abused children. Having had a difficult childhood herself, she deeply understands the emotional consequences of a child enduring any of the aforementioned scenarios and the importance of providing a helping hand, motivation, mental health facilitation and faith as lifelines for a child's future. This work has become a cornerstone in her life.
Dalea resides in the NYC area with her husband and their two Goldendoodles.
