Dela

Dela is an emerging artist from Ogun State, Nigeria. She infuses reggae, pop, dancehall, R&B, and hip-hop sounds into Afrobeat. With great vocals and impeccable writing skills, she intends to be one of the greatest music exports from Africa to every other part of the world. Dela, in her early years, was heavily invested in music as she was born into a home of music-loving parents who introduced her to different sounds.

As a child, Dela was ecstatic and joyous listening to the music of the legendary Afrobeat artist Lagbaja. She took off from there and over time discovered that aside from listening to music, she could also sing and create music.

In the past year, she has been working tirelessly to put together a euphonious collection of music that would tell stories, relish moments, and get you gyrating. Dela’s music creation process is one that is conscious of how the end product is consumed while still not losing the organic creator's touch.

In March 2024, Dela was featured alongside eight other artists on the Music Business Academy Africa album, “Pepple Street.”

In a bid to cement her place as one of the acts to look out for, Dela put out her debut EP “Miosis” in November 2024, a strong body of work and statement piece that aims to shoot Dela up high across the world as an Afrobeats superstar.

There’s a lot more to what Dela has for the world and she has her feet on the path to greatness certainly.
