Delete. Minimally sourced biography of a musician who has no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC for anything and nowhere near enough reliable sourcing to pass WP:GNG. Of the three sources here, one is an unreliable fansite and one is a user-generated discussion forum, thus leaving only an AllMusic bio for valid referencing -- but inclusion in AllMusic is not an automatic Wikipedia inclusion pass if AllMusic itself is the only valid source, because it's a database that tries to include every musician who ever existed at all. Our inclusion rules, on the other hand, do not extend automatic notability to every musician who ever existed -- we require certain specific markers of achievement to be attained, and certain specific levels of media coverage to be garnered, before an article on here becomes appropriate.
