What makes Dito Delirium, Dito Delirium?

I've been asked so many times "Why do you go by Dito Delirium?" and no, it's not because my last name is Delirium. Haha.

Dito Delirium

I've been going by Dito Delirium for several years now, and it's become less about the actual name and more about the feeling I get when I'm on stage performing - I feel like i'm a part of something bigger than myself, like everything that I'm doing matters in some grand scheme of things. See, I've always felt deeply connected to music and being a performing musician - it's what inspired me to pursue my degree in music in college and what keeps me going after a long day at work. (me, currently writing this with a glass of wine on a thursday after being at my day job for 11 hours, haha). But it's more than that, Dito Delirium is sort of an enigma, he's sexy, he's mysterious, and he represents exactly whatever you need him to represent. To me, that's an unending knowing of who I am inside, it's me allowing myself to be seen on a global scale and releasing myself from what I "should" be. Sometimes I want to do an edgy rendition of Party's Over, other times I want a super Pop-y version. It's ever-evolving and I hope you'll choose to evolve with me as well. If I must be honest, yes, my name did in fact originate from Tumblr. It's not a secret that I was a tumblr kid growing up - I was reblogging "The 1975" posts and praying that one day I'd get pierced ears and smoke cigarettes (don't smoke kids! - also I don't even smoke anymore - SHH!!). Back then, I felt the immensity of the universe and true gravity of expecation, that's the moment I decided to be Dito Delirium. Someone who is constantly saying "no" to the expected and leaning in to the unfamiliar and strange. I'll never be put into a box, and if that means i've chosen the harder path - well, I wouldn't have it any other way.

So I invite you, oh faithful reader, listener of the world, to join me on this journey of self-discovery, self-adaptation, and growth towards the best and most authentic version of ourselves.
