Sean Della Croce is a songwriter with a voice powerfully tuned to every story she tells. Her debut album, Illuminations, was released in 2021.

lluminations is a blend of folk wisdom with Americana heart and a truly alternative soul. The record is rooted first and foremost in Della Croce’s poetic lyrics—the 12-track album is composed entirely of original songs. Della Croce plays guitar on the album as well. 

Illuminations was produced by LA-based musician and producer Alan Deremo. Della Croce is joined on the album by a crew of amazing musicians including renowned steel guitar player Greg Leisz and vocalist Mollie Weaver. 21-time Grammy winner Vince Gill also appears on “Break in the Rain” where he adds his signature lead guitar to her arresting vocal.

Recruited into the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) in 2010, Della Croce always straddled the gap between music and academia. Longing for a degree that would test her limits as a thinker and writer, she transferred from LIPA back to the states where she studied not only entertainment, but also completed a degree in philosophy. Della Croce says, “Philosophy is a rich field for me as a songwriter because it explores the questions that I think the best music asks: what does it mean to be human and how can we survive it?”  All this informs the lyrical quality and content of her songs. Ranging from narrative structures to high arching conceptual lyrics, her storytelling is accessible to her fans yet retains its depth.
