Prior to Indonesian Idol, Delon never had formal music trainingFact|date=September 2007. His first encounter with music was when he joined a choir in his parish, the St. Petrus and Paulus Church. Delon's classical tenor voice made him one of leading soloists of this choir.

During this period, he became a door-to-door salesman selling spring-bed and plastic ware. Later on his singing ability opened the door for him to be a wedding singer and an MC.

On 9 September 2004, Delon became a runner-up of the first "Indonesian Idol" contest after his rival, Joy Destiny Tobing.
