Delilah Cabrera, known professionally as Delilah, is a 16-year-old Mexican-American singer-songwriter making waves in the world of corridos tumbados. This genre blends traditional Mexican sounds with urban and hip-hop influences, and Delilah has become a standout figure in this space. Born on July 26, 2008, in Wenatchee, Washington, she was raised in a bilingual household with strong roots in Mexico—her father is from Pénjamo, Guanajuato, and her mother is from Washington state.
From a young age, Delilah turned to music to cope with the loss of her grandmother. She began singing at the age of five, and as her passion grew, she also learned to play violin and piano. Her musical journey continued through her involvement in her school’s choir and mariachi band.
Delilah’s breakthrough came when a video of her singing went viral on TikTok. This caught the attention of Los CT Records, founded by famous artist Natanael Cano, leading to her becoming the first female artist to sign with the label. Her rise has been marked by the release of singles such as “Amor Perdido,” “Entre La Maleza,” and “Butterfly,” each showcasing her ability to blend traditional sounds with modern influences.
By March 2025, Delilah’s impact on the Latin music scene continues to grow as she tours and releases new music, solidifying her position as a promising young talent in the industry.
