Delia Matache (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈdelia maˈtake], born 7 February 1982), known by the stage name of Delia, is a Romanian eurobeat singer-songwriter, TV celebrity, dancer, philanthropist, former model, fashion designer, and coach from television music competition franchise X Factor. She has started her stage music activity in 1999 in N&D music band with Nicolae Marin and had released 4 albums, and after the split off in 2003 she had released another two solo albums. The genre of her music is dance and all of its derivatives. There are some influences of R&B on a few songs from her latest album. Prior to her solo-career (2003) while she was singing with Nick their genre was a fine mix of house and eurodance. She continued on the dance path.
"It was so fresh at the beginning... The public was more carried away. Obviously, I had the stage fright because of all those people, and this band was at the start. You can imagine I was astonishewhen I realized we actually received a good feedback. However all I could think was 'this is just a game'."
She was born in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Delia graduated from Dinu Lipatti music high school after five years of piano studies and after-school flute studies, that she continues today to fulfill her studies accomplishments to a more than solid level. She was thoroughly encouraged by her mother Gina to follow her dreams of becoming a star. At some point she stated she could be doing private lessons with "Vița de vie" singers after they have plagiarized one of her early hits. Also Delia has a brother, Eduard, and a sister, Oana.
Delia music career started when she was in 11th grade on the duo-band called N&D together with Nick (Marius Nicolae) – basically, a duet; the name of the band they formed in 1999 came from the first letter of their names (Nick & Delia). They have launched 3 albums together (from 1999 to 2002), "Altfel"/"Different", "Fac ce vreau"/"I do all I want" and "Nu e vina mea"/"It's not my fault", out of which more than a few songs were smash-hit's “hit-machines” and dominated the charts over the years, including the famous song "Vino la mine"/"Come to me", that it's still in the vogue today, in every Romanian club. The last CD that Delia released came in 2002, by the name of "Nu vreau să te pierd"/"I don't wanna lose you" and it has a memorable video with the lift and the underground parking lot.
