20 year old Manchester based singer-songwriter DellaXOZ began her first tour with Dayglow last night in Glasgow at the Galvonisers venue. She reveals the fact that this is her first experience on tour in a TikTok last night, using her new song ‘I fear premature death but you look hot smoking cigarettes’ as the sound to her post, while discussing her nerves before the beginning of the tour. This long-titled track is apt for the singer’s indie, emo influences.

The artist has recently risen to fame with her alternative pop, indie tracks, such as her most popular ‘AHH!!’, which has amassed over 3m listens since its release in 2021. DellaXOZ has been making waves with her music, initially gaining the majority of her following from TikTok with songs blowing up on the app which blend lo-fi and hyper-pop sounds, particularly seen in the energizing, indie glitch track ‘BORING’ from her EP ‘DELARIUM’. In an interview with Dork Magazine, the artist revealed her cultural influences as she noted, ‘my parents always played Congolese music’, whilst also discussing musical influences from artists such as ABBA and Rihanna. Additionally she has noted the midwest emo feel in her guitar riffs, particularly with new track ‘UnHinged’, a relatable hit discussing the woes of modern dating apps. These influences make for a uniquely soft and dreamy sound, which can’t help but be admired. DellaXOZ has also discussed her experiences of being labelled as an R&B artist, despite her clear indie sound, an issue widely known with black female artists in the music industry. The artist makes it known that her music is genre-defying and she has been vocal on social media when uplifting black female artists in the indie-rock scene, posting a TikTok in support of names such as Willow Smith and Rachel Chinouriri.
Tonight, the artist will join Dayglow on his tour for two UK dates on 26 and 28 March, as well as at their show in France on 29 March and Amsterdam on 30 March. Indie singer Dayglow has had a similar timeline to his musical journey, gaining an audience on TikTok during the Covid lockdown. Following this, he has been slowly accumulating his number of performances, playing 89 live shows in 2022. The singer has expressed excitement on Instagram in having indie trailblazer DellaXOZ join him on his tour.
Fans have shown similar enthusiasm, building hype for the artist’s upcoming shows on social media by counting down the days until the tour begins.
