Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas is an American soul/pop band from Detroit, Michigan, United States, formed in 2008 and consists of lead singer Jessica Hernandez and her band The Deltas.
History
Jessica Hernandez grew up in West Bloomfield, an affluent suburb of Detroit. She is the first-generation American daughter of a Mexican mother and Cuban father. Her parents lived above her family's restaurant before she was born, and she worked in the family Mexicantown bakery from third grade. She sang in choirs starting in grade school and performed in theater in high school. While in college in Chicago she started singing in rock bands.[1] By 2009, she was ready to start a band. The band name originated from the suggestion of a former drummer who had a 1987 Delta car. After releasing countless EPs Jessica Hernandez eventually signed a record deal with Instant Records.
Secret Evil (2014)
Secret Evil was released on August 19, 2014. The band appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman on November 10 playing the song "Sorry I Stole Your Man". They received high praise from Letterman after their performance.[2]
On May 19, 2015 the band released a 7" single which includes "Deceptacon" (Le Tigre cover) and "Don’t Take My Man To Idaho".
