A emotional rollercoaster of piano keys, and a devious childlike outlook, Versailles little girls all mold together to form one unique artist.
The pain and torment of a sad child come at you with each delicate racing note. Versailles blends the vocals and playing of Tori Amos with an 80’s post punk feel. Forming a rich catacomb of deep running emotions and a fun get up and dance feeling.
Versailles has toured the southwest playing in El Paso, Albuquerque, and Denver. Following the release of her first EP “Believe” in 2005 she has had 3 songs released on Cleopatra Records in 2005,2006 and 2007. Versailles is on “A Gothic Acoustic Tribute To NIN”, “A Tribute to She Wants Revenge” , “Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before (Tribute to The Smiths)”, and “Gothic Divas”. Two of these songs were produced by Gregory Butler who has also produced “Switchblade Symphony”.
Currently Versailles just got done recording 25 songs for her new album “Broken Dolls” to be released in late 2008. This album holds 15 songs very dear to Versailles based around the emotional side of abuse in many different forms. The new songs triumph those in the past in production, form and recording quality. This CD is going to be coupled with a book of short stories written by Versailles. These stories "Wendy’s Razor Blades", "Fade", "Mars", "Broken Dolls", "Pages", and "Legion" all show a girls struggle through different types of abuse and destruction.
In addition Versailles was a participant at the “Danny Blitz Benefit Concert”. Also she has been featured on shows like “The Scary Perry Show” starring “Scary Perry of “Windy City Heat”, and “Star Tomorrow” where she met David Foster and Mick Fleetwood. She has worked on Malcolm in The Middle, The Thirst, Related, Vegasand The Comeback. Versailles presently resides in Los Angeles.
Press Reviews
Morticia Devine- Underground Press
Believe” is a beautiful and haunting album from Dianna St. Hilaire,
the solo artist behind Versailles. The lyrics are almost innocent in its own
shadowed sadness…“No sleep till midnight, my lips still sewn tight, a lullaby
couldn't put me to sleep tonight”, and Dianna's voice is tender and celestial with
an undertone of desolation.
Jennifer Layton- Indie Music
How perfect that I just came home from seeing Tim Burton's Corpse Bride before playing
this CD. Versailles is a darkpop mistress with gothic influences and a voice
that can be breathy and innocent even when she's
rasping and pleading and crying out to the heavens.
Laura T Lynch- Kweevak
Dianna’s music is darkwave, alternative with atmospheric piano chords. She
pens shadowy lyrics, but her sweet high ranging voice keeps the songs from being too
from being to scary, yet her music is haunting. Dianna sings with raw emotion
and her clasical piano playing adds character and originality to her songs.
Emily O’Neary- Rock City News
A talent scoutt was sitting with me that evening and stated that ”Versailles is the
personification of what it takes to be a superstar. Hew writing is insightful and poignant.
Her stage presence is utterly unforgetable, and her musicianship as well as her looks
posses that rarist of charisma that one cannot manufacture. She was born to perform
