Darrelle London is a piano pop singer-songwriter from Toronto, Ontario, Canada known for her "clever quirkiness" and her "witty observations of everyday situations." Darrelle London began performing in cafes as a teen in her hometown of Acton, Ontario, outside Toronto. London turned down acceptance to law school in order to pursue her music career.
London released the My Piano EP in 2007 before releasing her debut album Edible World Parade independently in February 2009. Edible Word Parade was co-produced by Brian Allen (co-writer of Heart's "What About Love") and Marc Koecher. The song "Understand" was included on Soundtrack 90210, the first soundtrack album for 90210 (TV Series), released in October 2009 by CBS Records. London's music was discovered by Perez Hilton, who wrote in May 2010 "we are IN LOVE with this artist from Toronto, Darrelle London. She totally hits our sweet spot: female vocalist with a pretty voice singing pretty songs. If you like Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat or Ingrid Michael son, then you will love Darrelle London’s song Understand upon first listen!” London attended the 2010 Much Music Awards with Perez and performed at his after party. London was signed to Perezcious Music, but is now supported independently by the website.
In 2010, London was approached by fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk and the two wrote three songs together — "Ceila," "Too Good," and "Peach" — that appeared on London's 2012 album Eat A Peach (Bandwidth/EMI). Kreviazuk also produced and sang backing vocals for "Ceila." The single "Fine" received national commercial airplay in Canada and peaked at #43 on Canada's Hot AC Media base chart. London has performed at numerous festivals including Lilith Fair, North by Northeast, Canadian Music Week, and International Pop Overthrow. She has been featured on Much Music, ET Canada, MTVMusic.com, PerezHilton.com, CBC Music, and PBS. London has also made PSAs and played benefits for mental health organization mind your mind.
