Delphi Freeman -Play Music. Change the World.

When you picture two brothers and their little sister, “musical powerhouse” is probably the last mental image to come to mind. However, Delphi (18), James (22), and Luke (23) are all that and more! The three grew up in a San Francisco Bay Area home with musical parents and a musical environment, where the musical instruments were the surroundings, outnumbering the furniture. This and more would come to dramatically influence their upbringing, young adulthood, and, eventually, their band. At the tender age of thirteen, Delphi started writing her own music. A short while later, in 2014 at age fifteen, she had created enough material to take to the streets of San Francisco, busking for tips on high-traffic corners, and in popular areas such as Union Square and Ghirardelli Square. One year later, she began collaborating with her older brothers, Luke and James. These siblings are truly musicians, and have been so for most of their lives. They were members of the Napa Valley Youth Symphony in high school, and took private music lessons from childhood through their teens. Delphi, James, and Luke are multitalented and their abilities are pronounced and well exhibited in this band through vocals, piano, and violin, everyone contributing equally to create their signature sound. Outside of making the music, everyone has their own role as well. The extensive music background, audio engineering education, and production skill set of Luke and James, combined with Delphi’s skill and passion for writing music, make this trio a self-contained development, production, and performance machine. In 2016, after a successful initial collaboration for Luke’s and James’s final projects at SAE-Expressions Audio Engineering Trade School in San Francisco and Emeryville, CA, the band began their first fan-funded EP project, which they named "Who Am I?" This EP later evolved into a thirteen-track album, “Audio Cinema.” This original album features drummer, Donny Baldwin, and pianist, Chris Smith, of Jefferson Starship, and saxophonist, Greg Thomas, of P-Funk. The band also collaborated with composer/conductor Minna Choi of MagikMagik Orchestra (who has worked with indie/alternative artists Weezer and Death Cab for Cutie, among others). It was co- produced by the trio, OwlCove Productions, and Jefferson Starship’s production manager, Lewis Robertson, and partner, Rachel “Lightning” Rose. The band has successfully sold over 1,000 CDs in the first six months. The album is available on all major media platforms. At first listen, many have compared Delphi's vocals to Alanis Morrissette, Jewel, and Joni Mitchell, and the band’s sound to “London Grammar” and “Lo Moon.” Delphi and the band have a seasoned acoustic set list, which they play regularly at Ghirardelli Square and local venues in the SF Bay Area; San Francisco’s Brick and Mortar, Napa Valley's Silo's , and Los Angeles’ Hotel Cafe and The Mint, as well as various other venues. However, their new live performance show is enticingly different, closer to the sound mix on their album Audio Cinema, inviting more electronic elements to their show and toning down the acoustic guitar-centered sounds of their past. They are now exploring atmospheric pop electronic in their songwriting, looking forward to producing and releasing new music and new sounds, while staying true to the heart and soul that’s taken them this far. The band thrives on creating music that is new and innovative, a sound that is all their own; bridging the gap between the echoes of yesterday and the promise of tomorrow.
