Clara Elena Moroni is an Italian singer, songwriter, and producer from Milan, Italy. She is also the current CEO and owner of Delta Music Industry.
Background[]
Clara Moroni was introduced to music by playing keyboards, drums, and writing music as a young girl. Later on she would join a punk rock group from Milan named "The Kubrick"[1].
As she got older, she spent a semester in London where she was introduced to dance music; specifically new wave music.
She returned to Italy as an adult to work as a vocalist for many labels such as Asia Records, S.A.I.F.A.M, Time Records, DFC, Media, Italian Records, New Music, and Discomagic.[2] During her period at Time, she would come across Laurent Gelmetti, and they would soon start to work together for many projects.
In 1995, Moroni and Gelmetti would depart from Time, where they would stumble across Andrea Leonardi, a freelance producer from A-Beat-C. Moroni and Gelmetti had explained their reasons as for leaving Time, which lead to Leonardi to depart from A-Beat-C.[3] They soon joined together and co-founded Delta, where they would set up 2 separate studios - one in Milan, and one in Monza. Moroni would use the Monza studio for her work, as well as Gelmetti's. Her partnership with Leonardi ended after he left Delta to form SinclaireStyle, where Leonardi would claim ownership of every song he had produced at Delta, except for "Money Go!" by Marko Polo, "Lay Your Hands On Me" by Drama, "Round N' Round" by Cherry, and "Because I Feel" by Name[4]. Most of her songs were also featured in Initial D.
She also worked for various Hyper Techno labels such as Bulldozer Records and Easy Beat.
