Grey DeLisle (born August 12, 1972 in Ft. Ord, California ) is an American singer-songwriter-voice actress of Irish and Hispanic descent. Her childhood was very rough to start out: Her father left the family, and her mother was addicted to drugs. She was largely raised by her grandmother, Eva Flores Ruth, a vocalist who performed with salsa legend Tito Puente.

DeLisle was heavy into goth bands like The Cure, but her mother, who had become a born-again Pentecostal, made the strict rule of no secular music. In her late teens, she started singing old gospel tunes, and started in the world of stand-up comedy, on the advice of a close friend. In her comedy routine, DeLisle was able to imitate voices very well, and was then advised to take a shot at voice acting. Her first starring role came in the English version of Crayon Shin-chan, as the voice of characters Cosmo and Uma.

She didn't get another starring role until 1998, but she has since become one of America's most beloved and well-respected voice actresses.

DeLisle has also released four music CDs, filled with goth-inspired folk and Americana tunes, with a few gospel-style songs as well.

In 2002, DeLisle got married to musician Murry Hammond after a few months of a long-distance relationship. They were even featured in an episode of The Learning Channel program A Wedding Story .
