Kansas City-based Singer & Songwriter Delynia Jannell

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Kansas City-based singer and songwriter Delynia Jannell. This rising artist began singing at just two years old and grew up in Kansas City, developing her voice in the church at Bethel Church of God in Christ, where her father later became pastor. With strong support from her parents, Elder James C. Bailey Jr. and Janet V. Bailey, Delynia’s musical foundation was built on faith, family, and passion. Over time, her vocal artistry has expanded far beyond gospel—embracing R&B, jazz, blues, pop, neo-soul, and even opera. Known for her powerful voice and emotional delivery, she is quickly making a name for herself as a dynamic and versatile performer.
