[edit] Biography

She had a rough childhood: Her father left the family, and her mother was addicted to drugs. She was largely raised by her grandmother, Eva Flores Ruth, a vocalist who performed with salsa legend Tito Puente.

Grey was heavily into goth bands like The Cure, but her mother, who had become a born-again Pentecostal, set a strict rule of no secular music. In her late teens, she started singing old gospel tunes, and started in the world of stand-up comedy, on the advice of a close friend. In her comedy routine, DeLisle was able to imitate voices very well, and was then advised to take a shot at voice acting. Her first starring role came in the English version of Crayon Shin-chan, as the voice of characters Cosmo and Uma.

She didn't get another starring role until 1998, but she has since become one of America's most beloved and well-respected voice actresses. She has even learned how to speakJapanese thanks to fellow voice actors Janice Kawaye and Keone Young for her role as Yumi on Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Other voice acting roles have been in many computer and video games such as Escape from Monkey Island, Baldur's Gate and many Star Wars games. DeLisle has also released four music CDs, filled with goth-inspired folk and Americana tunes, with a few gospel-style songs as well.

In 2002, DeLisle married musician Murry Hammond, the bassist for the Old 97's, after a few months of a long-distance relationship. They were even featured in an episode of The Learning Channel program A Wedding Story. They are expecting a baby boy in January, as confirmed on her Official MySpace blog [2]. She Plays The Hot Cartoon Character Samantha "Sam" Manson In Danny Phantom.
