Full Biography:
On October 31st, 1994 Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich gave birth to a set of twins: Dove and Delphine. At age four, Delphine was brushing the hair of her Barbie dolls and Dove was biting their heads off. At age six, Delphine was sharing the stickers off her lunchbox and Dove was chasing her classmates around with a stick. By age 12, Delphine had her first boyfriend and Dove was finding it difficult to make a friend. It wasn't that their parents hadn't made an effort with the both of them. Dove and Delphine came from humble beginnings, the twins nestling their home in the worst part of town, but their parents always tried their best to give them what they could. Where it came easy with Delphine, it was difficult with Dove. The twins couldn't be further apart, an exemplary trait that took root on their birthdays. Where Delphine wanted pink balloons, a large strawberry cake, and a party for all of her friends, Dove wanted chocolate cake and blood and gore on Halloween night.
By the time they turned 18, the twins went two separate ways. Delphine met a guy who she fell heads over heels for and Dove went to a four year university, major undeclared. Her time in university was a short lived tale. It was in high school where she picked up her passion for music, but in college was where it really flourished. Dove would practice in the courtyard, praised in the way she never felt in her youth, but by the time she had decided her major, Delphine would call and beg for a savior. Dropping out was never her intent; it was meant to be a quick run: to deal with her sisters boyfriend and return for her Calculus test Monday morning. The weekend trip dragged on for three months, and by the time it was over, Dove was too far behind on her studies to ever return.
Too far in debt with no backup plan, Dove to a bus to New York and sold herself to a band that was hiring. The thrill of the stage great while it lasted, but she had a talent and her bandmates did not. They got her started, enough to get her settled, in a closet sized apartment in the best side of the city. She lived off scraps, but fought for what she wanted. It was an eat or be eaten world, and Dove always had a bite. She met both beautiful and ugly people, faces she'd forget, but one took her out to Paris and later LA, where she scrambled up her things, and moved on to the next city. LA was a sunshine nightmare for a girl dressed in black, but it was there she made her footing, finding the band that would forever stick.
King Hit's success was better than anything she could have wanted from a four year university. They toured from state to state, writing lyrics on the road between. Dove thrived on stage, the admiration fuel to her fire. As their tour settled down and their first album released, Dove found herself happy in the small family they had created. As their time on the road came to an end, they settled into Costa Del Sol to settle their next album. A small town was just what they needed to slip away from their adoring fans, tucked in the corners of Washington state. To Dove, it feels like deja vu, the town similar to their family home just outside of Philadelphia. She calls her parents twice a week, but settles into the downtown to remind her of the city.
