It’s so cute, and perfect." - Buzz Bishop, Virgin Radio Vancouver The Blog According to Buzz

Meet Darrelle London.
Classically trained in voice and piano, Darrelle earned her chops playing as a teenager in restaurants around Southern Ontario. She has since made her mark on the Toronto singer-songwriter circuit with her whimsical piano-pop and is prepared to release her debut full-length album Edible Word Parade!
Darrelle's story is one of following your heart over your head. With the smarts to get accepted to law school, she chose to instead take a chance on her music. So far, so good. In a short while, Darrelle has played solo shows in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Fredericton, Guelph and Kingston. She has showcased at many festivals, including WinterFolk, International Pop Overthrow and IndieWeek Canada. Her music has been aired on CBC Radio 2 and campus radio stations across Canada.

Edible Word Parade is a collection of nine catchy, piano-driven tunes, delivered with surprising strength and confidence, her smarts injected into her witty lyrics. Sure, you broke her heart but she’ll put you in your place with a wink and a smile.
Edible Word Parade is the product of a girl who was raised on a farm but now lives in Toronto and loves Canadian arts and culture, from the east-coast folk of Joel Plaskett to the Toronto-based Degrassi television series. It’s smart pop music, bold in its hopefulness and lovely with a touch of melancholy. There’s more under the surface than just fluff. Have a listen and you’ll see what I mean.
