Life and career

2004-2019: Early life

Daniella Landy Lubasu

UK Top 40 on TV;[3] aged ten, she became obsessed with boybands such as One Direction.[5]

She began writing as a teenager as an outlet for her emotions,[4] and began experimenting with free software aged twelve,[2] making use of Soundtrap and GarageBand;[3] she tweeted in June 2022 to state that she had made music on Soundtrap first and started on GarageBand when she was about fifteen.[6] She created an Instagram account in mid-2018 with the username DellaXOZ, as she wished to publish her musical output without her classmates finding out, followed by a dedicated TikTok account in late 2019, to which she uploaded cover versions;[7] in August 2022, The Line of Best Fit described her account as "a stream of graphic eyeliner, fingerless gloves, and excessive layers of thin chain necklaces".[2] Her first release was her own track, "Scary", released later that year.[7]

2020-2022: The Della Variant

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, Lubasu suffered from writer's block,[8] which subsided after Addison Rae commented on one of her videos;[2] the first track she created after was "I Want, Doesn't Get", which took its title from her mother's response to requests.[8] In June 2021, Lubasu released "Ahh!!", which lasted around a minute and a half.[9] The track went viral on TikTok, prompting a lawyer to get in touch and recommend that she get management.[2] "I Want, Doesn't Get" was released in June 2022.[8] She then released a single the following month about ignoring those she was in conflict with, "Paranoia", and announced an EP, The Della Variant,[10] which was released on 11 August 2022,[2] her eighteenth birthday,[11] alongside a video for focus track "We Move".[10]

2023-present: Dellairium

Lubasu then signed with

Hottest Record in the World.[16]

Artistry

In an interview with Whynow.co.uk, she stated that she was inspired by watching big artists such as Beyoncé on TV as well as from the energy of

R&B in March 2024,[17] though in an April 2024 interview with Dork, she stated that she was not interested in sticking to a single genre and that she made music which had "a feeling of what sounds good".[4] Lubasu became a member of Loud LDN,[18] a collective of London-based women and non-binary artists set up in May 2022,[19] that year.[20]
