Delhusa was born on 9 August 1953, in Budapest. His mother, Erzsébet Ihász, was Gábor and Kálmán Ihász's aunt. His paternal grandparents were Greek and Albanian and his maternal side was mixed German-Hungarian.[1]
In 1996, he was chosen via national final to represent Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 in Oslo with the song Fortuna, but was eliminated in the audio-only qualify round. The system was unique, but also had its controversies, as along with Hungary, Germany, one of the main financial contributors to the contest, had also been eliminated. This caused the system to be disposed of after that year.[2]
