Diane is a self-taught guitarist since the age of 10 and has been singing since she can remember. Her first "microphone" was a hairbrush as a child, but she's since traded that in for the real deal!
Trained vocally in classical and pop styles she prefers the contemporary flair and has a passion for singing God's Word. "I've always felt called to this music; this message. It's when I feel most 'at home' with my singing."
She's performed at the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, directed several Christian Contemporary Ensembles and has performed in Christian groups in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Georgia and Illinois. She is currently a member of Hide-n-Seek with friend and keyboardist, Chris.
Chris started playing piano at the age of 6 and continued until high-school. Then her life took a different path to develop her career and family. Over the years she continued to dabble with music, but nothing seriously. After meeting Diane, she dusted off those keys and decided to develop her more creative side. Chris's keyboard skills adds a rich tonal quality to the music which gives the duo their unique sound. The duo is excited about performing originals around the Chicago-land area.
