Biography 2007

Basin, Wyoming; no, there’s not much to do there. Google the city and you’ll find the Big Horn Co-Op and Tom’s Caf. It’s a quiet place to grow up, not the busy metropolis that would spawn the likes of a super-star. Folks there work, spend time raising their families, and listen to the radio when they can get a clear signal. Genre’ it doesn’t matter; current play lists or Golden Oldies it doesn’t matter its all music and you start listening to the radio as soon as your born. It’s the place you turn to hear ‘outside’ voices, not mom or dad, but those voices that are different, from someplace far away. But let’s delve deeper into Basin, WY… Let’s say now that you’re a young lady living there since birth, who is now desperately yearning to develop her own sense of fashion and wants to do the things most preteens do. You want to visit the mall. You beg your mom to take you.

But she’s a single mom struggling to keep things together. It’s not simple; you don’t just jump in the car and drive the 200 or more miles to either Casper or Gillette. Are there parties or peer groups? Not when you’re home schooled; outside influences are all few in numbers. It’s the radio you turn to for company; it’s the sound of rock, country, classic songs, new songs, new singers, different styles; all now becoming your personal friends. They visit you, coming out of the radio speakers into your room.

What does all of this have to do with DeLana Stevens? You’ve just been welcomed into her world. DeLana was born in Basin, WY. Her roots are those of hard work and a serious demeanor. To succeed, you study the lay of the land. To learn to sing, you just Do It!
