Hi Dianna! Thank you so much for taking the time to chat and connect with me today. Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your journey into music? What initially drew you to the world of music, and how has your path evolved over the years?
Since I was young, I’ve been a child of mysticism, always singing and dancing under the sun and moon, praying to a source I didn’t fully understand but always trusted to be there. One of my favorite things to do as a child was “play pretend,” or in other words, I loved the feeling of freely expressing myself, whether it be through song, dance, dressing up, and acting out a certain role.
My love of expression led me to study theatre and performance, and from there, music-making just flowed to me naturally. My sister bought me my first microphone ever, and that was the initiation of further sound exploration for me.

How do you approach the creative process when creating new music, and what inspires you? Are there specific themes or experiences that consistently influence your work?
I love to sit down and be immersed in the way I feel in a moment. That seems to lead me to beautiful creations without overthinking or trying too hard—allowing myself to be a vessel. Nature strongly inspires everything that I create, and I try to have my feet in the grass, a window open with a breeze coming in, or nature sounds playing when I’m making music to feel that extra support and inspiration.

What has been the most memorable moment in your career so far, and why does it stand out to you?
It’s very hard for me to say what’s the most memorable point in my career since they all stand out to me so beautifully, carving the next path for me to walk into. But I can say that all the times I’ve been able to play music for myself and others in nature—on a grass field, by the ocean, on a mountain, and so on—are deeply memorable to me.
What inspires your personal fashion style? How important do you find it to express yourself through your wardrobe?
Mother Nature and all of her natural colors do it every time. I pretty much only wear earth-toned clothes that remind me of the soil, the bark of a tree, a warm sunset, etc.
It’s so important to me to express myself through wardrobe, with simple, natural colors and fabrics being my favorite factors. Cotton and linen are my favorite fabrics to adorn myself with; they keep me feeling comfortable and down to earth. Wearing black on a more introverted day while wearing white when I want to reflect sunlight is another example of how I like to embody my feelings through what I wear.
What advice would you give to aspiring musicians and creators?
To continue to create from that place deep within. Usually, the way there is more fulfilling than the destination.
Dianna reminds us that true creativity is a journey—one deeply rooted in self-expression, nature, and authenticity. Her music and style serve as a testament to the beauty of living in harmony with the world around us.
