‘I look back and think “why were my eyebrows so skinny?” When you say makeup, I think why would I do that?’ Delta joked.

Interestingly, Delta has kept the same makeup artist since she was 15, gesturing to her during the interview to let her know the eyebrows weren’t her fault.

After first signing with Sony Music at the age of 15 in 2000, Delta has gone on to release five studio albums and two compilation albums.

She was on the morning breakfast program to promote her latest single Solid Gold, and her upcoming 2021 tour.
