Today we’d like to introduce you to Donna De Lory. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Donna De Lory is a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose radiant voice and expansive musical vision encompass pop, world music, electronica, and devotional mantras. In the pop realm, she’s perhaps best known for her work with Madonna as a backup singer and dancer, seen in the documentary film Truth or Dare and on Madonna’s Who’s That Girl, Blonde Ambition, Girlie Show, Drowned World, Reinvention and Confession tours.
De Lory is one of the world’s foremost singers of devotional mantras and songs of spiritual inspiration. Throughout the 2000s, she released a string of evocative, eclectic, beautifully produced albums that have captured the hearts of listeners in mindfulness, wellness meditation, and yoga communities and beyond. Her music is heard by over 100,000 Spotify listeners a month and has garnered more than 10 million streams across several digital platforms.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The challenge is to keep believing in myself and my music in the creative process. I’m here to fulfill my purpose of creating music, and my intention is to help other people open their hearts and trust their own inner wisdom. This is my gift, and in making music this is my way of helping and healing others as it is my own healing tool. Every time I go back to creating new music, I have to trust and believe that I’m on the right path. The challenge is to keep believing in myself at any age and not compare myself to other people.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
