ABOUT DALEA
Dalea is a Mexican-American Multidisciplinary Artist based in New York. She is an Intimate Apparel Designer, Advisor For the Fashion Industry, Fashion Stylist and a Research and Development Advisor for the Intimate Apparel Industry and beyond. In this website's bio, we will focus on her artistic life, rather than Fashion.
Her efforts in the artistic arena began in mid 2000's, as she increasingly shifted more time to it, originally starting with music, while continuing work in the Fashion Industry, in NYC.
She founded the now defunct Symphonic Rock band Quimera Music, her supporters affectionately called her '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”. After she ended the band, she became known simply as Dalea. Dalea released her sophomore solo album titled ‘VISITOR’ in May 24, 2016.
As an alto with a special timbre (think Alison Moyet, Tanita Tikaram, Diana Ankudinova, Macy Gray) her singing fingerprint is immediately recognizable; her album VISITOR best reflects her essence and singing voice.
In 2019, Dalea began acting and voice over training, with the goal to be prepared to perform exclusively in roles that mean something to her. Dalea frequently shares that her life-long love for the arts has nothing to do with seeking notoriety, but everything to do with following her artistic inclinations. Her favorite genres are Action, Fantasy and Science Fiction. She has had the fortune to work as extra in sets like The Devil Wear Prada 2, HBO's Succession, and HBO's And Just Like That. Her breakthrough role has yet to happen; 2026, we are looking at you.
Dalea is the producer of the inspirational microfilm series The Treasury of Life and its Spanish language counterpart, La Musa Imperfecta. They feature fables, short stories, classic and original writings intended to invite reflection. Via this project she encourages others to be all they are meant to be. February 6, 2022 marked the release of its first episode, A dream is a wish.
Dalea has a profound interest in using her life to help underprivileged, abandoned or abused children. Her primary goal and reason to be a public figure is to open a shelter for mistreated or abandoned teenagers in Mexico. She is not interested in being famous, however she knows that she needs her supporters help and the power to create this shelter; so she knows notoriety and success are the only ways she will accomplish this and she is working on it.
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. Be it motivation, mental health facilitation or help to create a foundation of trust as lifelines for a child's future.
This work has become a cornerstone in her life.
Dalea resides in the NYC area with her family.

• Miracle baby. Dalea's mother had multiple miscarriages before having Dalea. She was prescribed a miscarriage preventing medication called Diethylstilbestrol or DES (outlawed due to side effects to mothers and babies) DES was used, but not without consequences, there is suspicion that it caused her mother's cancer (which took her life) and also perhaps a trigger to some of Dalea's health challenges.
• Dalea began reading by the age of two; some of her favorite things to read back then were Donald Duck and Archie comics.
• Dalea is 5' 10" (1.79m) but very petite in morphology. She wears jeans size 4-6 but her leg inseam is 32-33 inches; her watches or bracelets require customization, due to their small size.
• As a child/teen, Dalea lived with various family members. Her biological father was not present (left before she was born) Her mother had mental health challenges, which prevented her from caring for Dalea full time.
• Dalea was born with a Difference of Sex Development (Called D.S.D. or Intersex), there are many forms of it, e.g. Chromosomal, Physical Patterns or both, depending on the case. Ignorance turned her childhood into a multitude of harrowing experiences that she had to learn to rise above; the more critical being abandonment, abuse and in periods of her childhood being forced to alternate between living as girl and a boy, due to ignorance of those who were in charge of her as well as of the medical information available in small town Mexico.
• From 2013 to 2021 she volunteered her time working on providing emotional support to families in her Latin community affected with Differences of Sex Development. She formed the now defunct initiative called Girl Comet.
• Two left hands! Dalea was an uncoordinated girl, by 13 years of age she had fully grown to her current height of 5’ 10”, it took her considerable time to get used to her height.
• Due to lack of care from the ones who were supposed to protect her, Dalea contracted Rheumatic Fever as a pre-teen, it nearly ended her life. When finally diagnosed with the illness (close to a year into it), she spent many weeks bed-ridden, under heavy doses of painful penicillin meant to save her life.
• Dalea's first name is Jessica, it means God's Messenger, she had tended to favor Dalea for many years because Jessica is a family name on her biological father's side and he was never really in her life. Nowadays, it has ceased to matter.
• Her voice has been featured in film music and meditation programs.
