Grey was heavily into goth bands like The Cure, but her mother, who had
become a born-again Pentecostal, set a 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

and Uma (which will begin airing on Adult Swim Monday through Thursday the

Kawaye and Keone Young for her role as Yumi on Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Other
