Although the singer was known for her role in Neighbors as Nina Tucker, she shifted her focus to music after signing with Sony at the age of 15.

Although Matthew is best known as his girlfriend’s guitarist, he has also worked with some other big names in the industry, including Conrad Sewell.

The couple even went into business with their own independent record label called ATLED Records (ATLED is Delta spelled backwards).

Meanwhile, the last film Delta appeared in was released in 2018, Olivia Newton John: Hopelessly Devoted to You.
