passionate laments reminiscent of Janis Joplin and the crystal clarity of
Enya.”

Singer and songwriter Donna De Lory has always followed divergent musical roads. The petite, vivacious brunette with the mighty voice happily dallied in the mainstream as Madonna's sassy tour sidekick for over a decade, but her own parallel journey as a solo artist follows a more eclectic muse. A devoted student of yoga and spiritual teachings, De Lory's lushly conceived solo albums, like her 2009 ecstatic groove Sanctuary, are not only inspired by Western pop, but Indian devotional music, Sanskrit mantras, Northern African grooves, psychedelic arrangements, and dance beats. Donna blends her rich spiritual practice, sonic collages and diverse musical inspirations into a unique, world music-meets-kirtan style that's been called "the perfect combination of earth Mama and fairy child, with a voice that oscillates between the passionate laments of Janis Joplin and the crystal clarity of Enya."
"Playing music is my yoga," says De Lory. "It's my bliss. When I play, I get lost in the music, my mind stops, I am in the moment and I am free. This is a place I never want to leave." |

"De Lory's voice, at once
fragile and vulnerable, yet still powerful, with a gospel-like yearning... Her chants could be hymns to Krishna or a plea to
a lover, but they are equally ecstatic and powerful."
