Diving into opportunities and experiences bring me joy: One of the opportunities she has grabbed with both hands has been creating her latest fragrance. The aptly named scent, Power, has been a labour of love for Delta, who has been involved in all aspects of its creation, from the notes of the perfume itself to the bold silhouette of the bottle. “The word (power) represents an internal feeling rather than something you have over people’ she explains of her perfume's name. ‘Strength. Confidence. Empowerment. It's a knowing of yourself. Power, the fragrance, tells this story: These themes are echoed in her songwriting, too. Unlike a lot of singers who mostly pen music about heartbreak, Delta's music is always infused with her trademark optimism. “Lite best when Im happy and having fun. | don't actually prefer to write when I'm processing something that is happening” she says. As such, recent songs such as The Power and Keep Climbing as well as her breakthrough ballad, Born to Try, encourage listeners to discover the power that comes from change and togetherness.

Although looking back at such a difficult chapter could be painful, Delta understands that as a high-profile survivor, she can be a source of comfort and strength to others. “When it comes to talking to people who are in the fight. it is a gift to be able to bring some love and light to them in that time” she says.
