Meeting Petrina DeLacey: The Artistic Beginnings
Petrina DeLacey, an LA-based Christian artist, brings a vibrant blend of creativity and passion to the world of music. Growing up in Los Angeles, Petrina was consistently surrounded by diverse cultural influences, which infused her work with a distinct flavor. During her conversation with J. Harrington, she reflects on her initial experiences with music and how they were shaped by a variety of genres, from her mother’s love of country and Cumbia to her grandmother’s passion for karaoke and worship songs.
A Journey Shaped by Faith
Petrina’s relationship with faith has been a cornerstone of her life and career. Raised in a household where both Christianity and Catholicism were present, she dedicated her life to Christ at the age of nine. While her journey was not without challenges—especially during her teenage years when societal pressures led her to distance herself from her faith—Petrina found her way back. A significant turning point occurred at sixteen when a profound spiritual experience prompted Petrina to realign her life with her beliefs.
The Courage to Choose a Different Path
One of the most transformative moments in Petrina’s journey was her decision to walk away from a potentially promising record deal. Guided by an unwavering faith and an unmistakable voice from the Holy Spirit, she chose to prioritize her spiritual convictions over fame. This choice led her to grow not only as a person but also as an artist dedicated to creating music that is authentic and reflective of her values.
Petrina’s Diverse Musical Influences
Petrina’s music is a testament to her eclectic taste. She draws inspiration from an array of artists, including Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia, Sade, and several influential rap artists. Her rich cultural background, which includes Italian, Black, and Mexican influences, is evident in her work, allowing her to craft a sound that is both unique and universally relatable.
A Life of Love and Ministry
In addition to her flourishing music career, Petrina is also recognized for her ministry work. She and her husband, JB the Preacher, are co-founders of a Christian club that offers young adults a safe, fun environment for fellowship centered around music and faith. This enterprise reflects their combined desire to foster community and support others on their spiritual journeys.
