Biography

Shanley Del Morris was born in Hamilton, New Zealand in 1962, and grew up as the seventh of nine children with three brothers (Alister, Rhys and Tam) and four sisters (Bronte, Maxine, Joanne and Jenny).

In 1991 Del moved to Sydney to work as a backing singer for her elder sister, Jenny, who had relocated there ten years earlier. On the strength of her demo tape, "Together Alone", she was signed with rooArt records in 1992 as a solo artist. Session musicians included members of the Dead Reckoners: Kieran Kane, Harry Stinson and Kevin Welch. Del's third album, The Other Side (2001), appeared under the name Shanley and showed a more pop-orientated sound, which was produced by Matt Fell.
