Career

De Lory's 1993 single "Just A Dream" was written and produced by Madonna and 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 incorporated backing 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 reach the United States Hot Dance Club Play chart. It peaked at #71 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1993.[1]

She worked in France to sing and dance for the Mylène Farmer's tour in 1996.

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.[2]

De Lory's 2004 album, The Lover & The Beloved, was a Sanskrit and English CD released on the Ajna Music label.
