He later attended the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, where he studied percussion, harmony, counterpoint, and fugue. During this time, he also performed with several national symphonic orchestras in France as an extra musician.

Since 2007, his music has been published and distributed exclusively by De Haske Publications, a division of Hal Leonard Corporation. In 2016, his composition Fraternity was commissioned as the test piece for the European Brass Band Championships, marking the first time a French composer was selected for this role. The piece was subsequently used as the test piece for the British Open in 2017. His works have been chosen as set pieces for other international brass band competitions, including Sand and Stars for the Dutch National Brass Band Championships and the British Open 2023, as well as Crazy Twenties for the North American Brass Band Championships in 2025. Deleruyelle received the ‘Composer of the Year’ award at the 4barsrest Awards in 2016, 2017, and 2023. In addition to his contributions to brass band music, Deleruyelle has composed concert band works for major events. On July 14, 2023, his piece Majesty was performed during the opening of the national military parade on the Champs-Élysées, attended by French President Emmanuel Macron. In 2024, his composition Heroes of Liberty won first prize in a prestigious competition organized by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces and was designated as an official national march for the French Army. The piece was also performed during the 8 May 2024 celebrations in Paris, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In 2026, he received a Buma International Wind Music Award, an international distinction recognizing outstanding contributions to the wind band and bras band repertoire.
