Born and raised in Toronto, Canadian singer/ songwriter Delon Om is a former contestant on Canadian Idol. He teamed up with Sean Hakim and Jenny Walls to form the dynamic pop-trio Starchild X in 2014. After co-writing one song with Juno award-winning producer Sheldon Moore, the group was catapulted to instant stardom when Virgin Radio 99.9 (CKFM Toronto, Canada) welcomed the single “Superstar” into rotation. “Superstar” hit the airwaves in 2014 and it didn’t take long for the record labels to take heed of this: the group was courted by both Sony and Ultra Records. After signing with Ultra Records, Om collaborated with Alex Gaudino, a prolific DJ in the global community.
After this endeavor, Om decided to pursue a solo career, and his success thus far is nothing short of remarkable. In 2018, he was invited to perform at the 13th Annual Caribbean Hall of Fame Awards. His single “What We Guh Do Now?” (Featuring Juno-nominated artist Trinity Chris) held the #1 spot on various radio charts in Jamaica for 3 months. Another one of his singles, “Someone Special to Me”, was featured in the critically acclaimed documentary “This is for Toronto”. In 2021, Om teamed up with two-time Canadian Latin Award winner BenAnthony LaVoz and Latin Grammy winner Sensei Musica to release “The Gentleman & Scholar”, which was nominated for two Canadian Latin Awards. Om has recently worked with Juno-nominated producer T.J. Habibi on his critically acclaimed solo album “Theatre of Cruelty”, which won two OMAS in 2022 for “Best Emerging Artist” and “Best Music Video.”
