Occasionally, in the mayhem of the music business, where bands are scrambling to get noticed and record labels are inundated with thousands of promo kits and pitches of every type, an artist ascends out of seemingly nowhere to the top of the heap. Somehow all the elements of commercial success in the music business come together at once: the artist’s talent, history, image, and determination combined with music that has mass appeal, radio-friendly sound, and unforgettable hooks. Singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist Delle Carr of Miami’s South Beach illustrates this phenomenon perfectly with his new demo CD and interactive DVD. You know that a musical product has limitless potential when the songs invade your brain and you just can’t stop singing the hooks. Regardless of your age, musical taste, or background, you just can’t get those Delle Carr hooks out of your head. And then, you become naturally curious about the artist: what he looks like, how he lives, and how he creates. Delle Carr’s history reads somewhat like a fictional novel. He discovered his innate musical talent early in life while pumping gas at his father’s filling station in Ocala, Florida and picking out melodies on his mom’s piano. Through sheer determination, a strong sense of integrity, and high standards, he built a solid music career around quality music and exciting live performance. His musical travels have taken him from Belize to Hawaii and California to Monaco. He has even shared the stage with Julian Lennon. He currently performs nightly to standing room only crowds at Mango’s, one of the hottest clubs on Ocean Drive in South Beach. His voice and stage presence are mesmerizing. However, he is not about the hype, glitz, and glamour typically associated with the South Beach scene, where people struggle to escape anonymity through extremism and exaggeration. No, Delle Carr has a more natural and authentic approach to life, and his music derives from real life experiences. He lives on a sailboat that he proudly powers with solar and wind energy only. He rows a dinghy to shore on the West side of South Beach, and uses a skateboard as his primary transportation. His long blond dreadlocks, flip-flops, and loose fitting white linen shirts create an image that compliments his music, though he didn’t plan it that way—just like he didn’t plan on the emotionally charged events that inspired his songs. His life, music, and career have followed a natural progression without pretense or preconceived notions. However, don’t let the laidback lifestyle fool you. Delle is a perfectionist with a tireless work ethic and a plan. Now, he is about to be recognized as an artist with star potential and all the attributes necessary for success & longevity in the music business.
