Grey DeLisle (born August 24, 1973 in Fort Ord, California) is an American singer, songwriter, and voice actress of Irish, Dutch and Hispanic descent.

Biography

Early life and early career

Grey DeLisle had a difficult childhood; her mother was addicted to drugs. She was primarily raised by her grandmother, Eva Flores Ruth, a vocalist who performed with salsa legend Tito Puente.

DeLisle was heavily into goth bands like The Cure, but her mother, who had become a born-again Pentecostal, set a strict rule forbidding secular music. In her late teens, she started singing old gospel tunes, and entered the world of stand-up comedy on the advice of a close friend. In her comedy routine, DeLisle imitated voices very well, and was advised to take a shot at voice acting. Her first starring role came in the first English version of Crayon Shin-chan, as the voice of characters Cosmo and Uma, in 1994.

Career success

Harp Magazine has called Delisle "golden-voiced" and recognized her for her roles in Fairly Oddparents and What's New, Scooby-Doo? as well as Clifford the Big Red Dog. In addition to her numerous English-speaking roles, she also speaks Japanese as the character Yumi on Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. DeLisle has had voice acting roles in many computer and video games, such as Escape from Monkey Island, Baldur's Gate, and several Star Wars games. She has also released four music CDs, which include goth-inspired folk and Americana tunes, and a few gospel-style songs.

Personal life

In 2002, DeLisle married musician Murry Hammond, the bassist for the Old 97's, after a few months in a long-distance relationship. They were featured in an episode of The Learning Channel program A Wedding Story. Their first child, Jefferson Texas "Tex" Hammond, was born on January 31, 2007 in Los Angeles, California. DeLisle issued the following statement on this occasion:

Many thanks for all of the love and good wishes sent our way from my friends out there in cartoon land…the only place where a nine month pregnant woman can still play a hot goth chick in a belly shirt!

DeLisle is friends with fellow actress Tara Strong, with whom she has worked in several shows including The Fairly OddParents and Xiaolin Showdown.

In a recent post on her MySpace pages, DeLisle commented about her birthday being wrongly listed on IMDb and referenced Misplaced Pages:

I hate to make a deal about it, but it sort of annoys me that my birthday is wrong in cyberworld! They have me down on Misplaced Pages (IMDb to be exact) as being born on August 10, 1972…when in actuallity, I was born August 24, 1973!!!! I know it's just a year and a few days difference, but it keeps me awake at night. Well…that…and the scary Santa Claus that Tom Hanks played in The Polar Express…that keeps me awake at night, too.
