About Me

Diana has been singing since she was about 5 years old. Her first memory of wanting to be a musician is from seeing ABBA’S Waterloo video; she was instantly mesmerized. From that moment on she decided she wanted nothing more than to sing. Diana has been writing her own songs for the last 10 years. In 2002 she took a road trip by herself to the Southeastern US armed with only her guitar. Diana sang her heart out from ‘The Attic’ in Chattanooga to the ‘Hall of Fame’ in Nashville. During this trip she began to write even more songs, many of which are on her first CD release “All I Want.” From this trip onward she progressed and continued to play at various venues in and around Toronto such as Free Times Café, PJ O’Briens, The Summer of Love Festival in Yorkville, and Galway Arms in Etobicoke. A favourite highlight was playing in front of hundreds of people at a Tsunami Benefit concert in Toronto’s Beach District. Her cd release party was very successful…she performed for just under 300 people at Jeff Healey’s Roadhouse on Oct 26th with her 7-piece band. She also hosts a successful jam night in the beaches every Wednesday night @ The Fill Station, and is in the process of booking and playing local gigs in and around Ontario and the United States."Diana's music is a refreshing change - it leaves you feeling happy. I was very pleased to include her on a recent Darkhorse Radio show and look forward to featuring her in again the future." Alan Carr www.DarkhorseRadio.com"Diana is the consummate host for a jam night. Beautiful voice, solid musician, great songwriter, knows tons of tunes, jams effortlessly with anyone...and best of all, she's a really, really nice person!" Alec SteinwallMy Sonicbids Calendar
