Info
23-year-old triple threat DaniElle DeLaite has been on the stage in some capacity since the tender age of three-years-old. She has travailed through the trials and tribulations of failed recording contracts and unscrupulous agencies yet she has never given up on her dream of being a performer. “I have always been encouraged to pursue a career in music and there has always been the expectation that I would succeed even through the broken deals and failed promises,” says DeLaite. “This amazing encouragement and belief has been a wonderful support for me.” DeLaite’s dream became a reality when she won the Musicoz Australia wide competition for unsigned artists i98FM Listener's Choice Award at the age of 16. As a result she was invited to perform at the Entertainment Centre for the awards presentation that was broadcast on national television. After moving from her native township, Kiama to Sydney later that year, DeLaite bounced back from a dissolved recording contract and started a successful career as a fit model. While in Sydney she worked for nine major Australian designers as a house model and she also does catwalk and presenter work. Using the money she earned as a model, the singer/songwriter was able to take her career in her own hands by starting her company Lizard Ed Pty. Ltd. She funded recording sessions for her upcoming album and a video clip the single “Nothing to Wear.” The idea behind the single and video for “Nothing to Wear,” which are available on iTunes came about one night when the 23-year-old was getting ready to go out with a few friends. “It was nearly time for me to be picked up and I was sitting on my bed surrounded by lots of dresses, jeans, tops, jackets shoes and jewelry, thinking to myself, ‘what am I going to do? I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!’ I looked around the room and surveyed the giant mess on my bed, the floor, the chair and dresser and realized how absurd my statement was and how it was a moment many others had experienced as well
