Early life
Amaradio was born in an Italian family[12] and raised in San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, California.[13] Picking up the piano and songwriting at seven years old, Amaradio cites her early influences as Stevie Nicks and Billie Holiday, a taste she acquired from her father's vinyl collection.[13] Upon graduating from Capistrano Valley High School,[14] Amaradio briefly moved to Manhattan where she worked as a photographer by day and worked open mics at night.[15] During this time, she wrote "New York City" about her struggles in New York. Upon returning to the West Coast, she adopted the pseudonym "Delacey."[2]
