Her debut album was nominated as the ?Best Independent Release? for the 2000 ARIA awards having bristled with originality in her song writing and unique style of performance. The strength of her material was partly inspired by her unique upbringing.

With the instant success of ?I Go Off? Diana went on the road and over the past three years has been on several successful Australian national tours, both solo and with the bands supporting several artists such as Cake, The Eels and Grinspoon.

Diana's debut album on Five Crowns Music, and her first in the United States, is a collection of songs that she has written over the past year; they are personal, reflective, biting tales of her own roller coaster emotions and observations of life around her. They are the result of a songwriter's journey. The sound of this record is a forceful interpretation of her acoustic-based songs with an intricate and always progressive big sound.
