Diana's 1996 Grammy nominated All for You album topped the jazz radio and Billboard Jazz charts, remains in the Top 10 70 weeks after and sold 200,000+ units worldwide. All that she has accomplished thus far is surpassed by the beauty, sensuality and humor she presents on her new album. In her own special style, Diana interprets love songs from across the musical spectrum with a new and compelling maturity. Multi- album servicing to jazz (another #1 on Gavin is expected) and adult contemporary radio.
