Donna De Lory is a singer, dancer and songwriter. Part of a musical family, De Lory has been performing since a young age. Her voice can be heard on albums by Carly Simon, Ray Parker, Jr., Kim Carnes, Santana, Laura Branigan, Belinda Carlisle, French singer Mylene Farmer and Madonna, the latter whom De Lory accompanied as Backing Singer/Dancer on every concert from the Who's That Girl Tour in 1987 up to the Confessions Tour in 2006. Her performance with Madonna at the Live Earth 2007 concert in London was their most recent professional collaboration. A very pregnant De Lory is committed to her own solo tour for the first six weeks of Madonna's 2008 Sticky & Sweet world tour and this will mark the first occasion in more than 21 years that De Lory has not been a member of Madonna's touring company.
De Lory's 1993 single "Just A Dream" was written and produced by Madonna & Patrick Leonard. The track was originally recorded by Madonna for her 1989 Like a Prayer album. The original version of this song remains an example of unreleased Madonna songs. De Lory's cover version incorporates prominent background vocals by Madonna. A number of remixes for this single were released on promotional CD and 12" vinyl. De Lory's version did also manage to crack the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart.
After traveling the globe in support of her self-titled MCA debut, De Lory's pop and world influences took root in her collaboration with cellist, Cameron Stone. Together they formed a musical hybrid and began creating albums such as Bliss and In the Glow.
De Lory’s album The Lover & The Beloved is a Sanskrit and English CD released on Ajna Music, a record label emerging as a leader in the metro-spiritual music genre. While a collection of ancient Indian mantras set to modern beats may seem like a departure, for De Lory, this seamless blend of east and west, devotion and pop, is just the next step in her continuing musical evolution.
The De Lory family is well-known in the music industry: Donna is the daughter of musician/record producer/arranger Al De Lory, who played piano, electric organ, and harpsichord on The Beach Boys's Pet Sounds album and was responsible, among other things, for Glen Campbell's three-album "golden era" on Capitol Records.
