Diana grew up performing with her family, doing vocals with her mother and sisters. All were accomplished instrumentalist as well, Diana playing guitar and percussion, sister Roberta, the piano, and younger sister Mary, the saxophone. Diana would keep time for her parents during rehearsals, playing the beat with brushes on a snare. Her mom decided that she had a good beat and got her drum lessons with renown Philharmonic percussionist, Johnny Rolland. She began playing drums professionally at seventeen and joined the musician's union at eighteen. She played with some of the area's finest musicians.

In her mid-twenties, she started booking her own group, playing drums and doing lead vocals. She began writing original music in her late twenties and purchased some recording equipment also.  In a turn of events at age twenty-nine, she and her husband decided to put their careers on hold to concentrate on raising their children. They moved to a remote rural area for several years to do so. However, Diana really missed playing and being part of the professional music world.

When her daughter, Zoey, began playing piano and writing songs at age ten, a light went off in Dee's head: "Ahh, a family band!" They purchased their first multi-track recorder and moved back to the city. Diana continued to perform as a freelance musician, her daughter occasionally joining her.

Sadly, Diana became very ill in '97 and was diagnosed with a recurrence of a breast cancer. Her husband prayed for an angel to heal her. Diana saw the angel, and the cancer went into remission. She was blessed with what seemed to her and her family, a miracle. It was then that Diana and her daughter made the decision to build their own recording studio, concentrate on original music, and record their very first CD together.

The rest is history.
