Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians.

Have you ever wondered how a junior tennis prodigy, who once had dreams of sports stardom, finds himself captivating audiences worldwide as the frontman of an INXS tribute band? Meet Dellacoma Rio, whose journey from the tennis courts of the US to embodying the legendary Michael Hutchence is a tale of resilience and passion.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dellacoma, who shared the unexpected twists of his career, including a detour into acting, a corporate stint as an operations manager, and the eventual call of music that he couldn't resist. Known for his striking resemblance to Michael, Dellacoma embraced this uncanny likeness, turning it into a tribute show that transcends mere imitation, offering fans an authentic INXS experience.

From the unique video productions that recreate the grandeur of a Wembley-style concert, to the band's global performances in places like Dubai, India, and Japan, Del brings us into the heart of the incredible Australian INXS Tribute Show.

We also touched on his band, Dellacoma, and their acoustic cover of Audioslave's "Like a Stone," giving us a glimpse of exciting new music slated for 2025.

Wrapping up, we reflected on the deeper theme of striving for more than just survival, inspired by the powerful messages in his music. Join us for an inspiring episode that reminds us to chase our passions and embrace life's unexpected paths.
