ABOUT

Since early childhood Diana Winter has experienced different languages and cultures and developed an early love of music. Growing up in a very musical family --her mother is an accomplished classical pianist- as a child she listened to everything from Bach to Satchmo. She started early classical guitar studies at 10, focussing after some years on more modern guitar players such as De Moraes, Pernambuco, Brower, Brindle. A curiosity for anything concerning self expression soon turned towards songwriting: she wrote her first song at fourteen. Her vocal training started in a Gospel Choir, soon her models became Chaka Khan, Sarah Vaughan and many others. As a teenager ,while performing in various local clubs, she started making her own way in the music business. Those years didn't seem to lead her anywhere, because she found it impossible to compromise with certain situations. She was discovered in 2004 by the arranger, guitarist and producer Fabio Balestrieri, and the result was her first album Escapizm. The album was recorded among UK, Italy and Belgium, and features worldwise known artist such as legendary Toots Thielemans, Phil Gould, Mike Lindup and others.
