# Delacey

Brittany Marie Amaradio (born 1993), known professionally as Delacey, is an American singer and songwriter. Having co-written songs such as "New York City" for The Chainsmokers, "Ruin the Friendship" for Demi Lovato, and "Without Me" for Halsey (which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100), in March 2020, she released her debut album, Black Coffee. She released her second album The Girl Has A Dream in 2023 featuring the single "Boy With The Blues."
In 2024, Delacey co-wrote two songs for the animated motion picture The Wild Robot, "Kiss the Sky" and "Even When I'm Not" both performed by Maren Morris. "Kiss the Sky" was met with critical acclaim, winning a Hollywood Music In Media Award for Best Original Song, and earning nominations for the Astra Awards, Critics' Choice Awards, and Golden Globe Awards. Her song "Dream It Possible" was be the anthem of Huawei production.

## Early life

Amaradio was born in an Italian family and raised in San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, California. Picking up the piano and songwriting at seven years old, Amaradio cites her early influences as Stevie Nicks and Billie Holiday, a taste she acquired from her father's vinyl collection. Upon graduating from Capistrano Valley High School, Amaradio briefly moved to Manhattan where she worked as a photographer by day and worked open mics at night. During this time, she wrote "New York City" about her struggles in New York. Upon returning to the West Coast, she adopted the pseudonym "Delacey."
