OMG I am nominated for Music Artist Of The Year at the Creative Industry Awards 2026. I want to thank everyone who voted, supported my act over the last couple of years. Im very grateful to the Creative Industry Awards for my second nomination which my first was back in 2025 after the Take Me Out Project finished. I honestly didn't see myself getting recognised again especially by the mainstream creative industry. Im honestly touched by this nomination and very proud im flying the flag for the Northern Ireland Music Community and LGBT Community at the popular awards held in England. Very touched by this nomination thank you everyone 🥹❤️

Hey everyone, thought I'd share my song I released last year called MASKS. This was the song that was my musical baptism into making my own music. I released it in 2025, but it had been in my vault since 2012, when I recorded it with @halfbapstudios @halfbap_george @graham_halfbapstudios. "Masks" is an emotionally charged power soft rock song, and it is a deeply moving song tackling heavy themes like depression, bullying, abandonment, and abuse. The song samples the iconic instrumental piece "In the House - In a Heartbeat" composed by John Murphy for the movie 28 Days Later. Written to represent the my masculine and feminine energy and inner mindset during my youth. The release of "Masks" gained massive traction online, quickly passing over a quarter of a million views on YouTube. The success of the track served as a major catalyst for DELISHUS MR's nomination for "Arts Personality Of The Year" at the prestigious Ulster Tatler Awards.

Here's the link to watch it on YouTube, where it was launched exclusively!

Omg im nominated for 2 GNI Awards. I want to thank GNI MAGAZINE and the public for securing my 11th GNI NOMINATION 🤩. Im very grateful to everyone who has supported me over the last few years it hasn't been easy at times.
Huge thank you to @jessicahammondx and @loraawhite for making this possible with the THREE MAY KEEP A SECRET CAMPAIGN nominated for CREATOR OF THE YEAR. Im absolutely honored to nominated with you guys. Finally Im absolutely speechless and emotional to be nominated for the INSPIRATION AWARD as I never thought of myself as inspiring. All I wanted to do was to freely express myself artiscally and creatively over the years. As you know the last 10 years have been extreme highs and lows and honesty without my fans, friends and family support I wouldn't be still here. Ive overcome abuse, bullying, isolation, homophobia, nepotism, hate targeted and totally being misunderstood. What can I say being an inspiration is to never give up and always fight what you believe in even if it makes you unpopular. In my lowest times I turned to different artists for strength local and international for there inspiration because without inspiration we can never grow. I honestly can say this award nomination has touched me and I hope to continue to inspire people to always believe in themselves and to never give up in there passion. Again thank you so much for these two meaningful nominations ❤️

Last year my song Three May Keep A Secret became the official case study for @musicvideo.marketplace that was featured on Rolling Stone. Im very grateful for the help and support @loraawhite gave during my difficult transition from Performance Artist to Recording Artist. Without her help my rebrand would have never happened. Looking forward to releasing more content soon 😉✨✨.

DELISHUS MR 🤩
