If you're looking for a singer/song writer/ukulele player that can span a variety of genres and eras with a consistent soulful and smooth tone, I'm your Chic!
I sing both originals and covers by artists such as ...
Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke, Adele, Duffy, Ingrid Michaelson, Norah Jones, Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Dean Martin, Elvis, Tina Turner, Lady Gaga, Billy Joel, the Beatles... and many more. Can play R&B, Country, Jazz, Easy Listening, Dance, Old school, Motown and more, and will entertain you and your guest throughout the day or evening events. Sings and play ukulele, with or without tracks. I enjoy singing in all different environments from parties, wine bars, tiki huts, honky tonks, Ritz lounges and more... I sing songs that people love and I'm at home with any audience. It's all about performing with passion and connecting the songs with the people. I am punctual, professional, and very easy to work with. I will learn any song that is requested. I will bring an extra element of fun and style to any event.
I have about 2 hours of original music and about 3.5-4 hours of covers. I can play solo, as a duo, or with my band, Name. Typically a long gig (more than 1.5 hours) I play with my keyboardist or band. The covers I do range from The Beatles to Adele & everything in between as well as many spirituals & standards. Here are a list of fan favorite covers...
Oh Darling (The Beatles)
Angel From Montgomery (John Prine)
Fever (Blackwell)
Summertime (Gershwin)
Make You Feel My Love (Dylan)
I Can't Make You Love Me (Raitt)
All My Loving (The Beatles)
Someone Like You (Adele)
If you are looking for specific songs to be sung during your wedding ceremony or event I'm happy to learn it. If you are looking for background/dinner music I have a lovely set full of jazzy vocals & soft melodies. Or if you are looking for a more upbeat feel I can do that too. I mostly sing either pop, R&B, jazz, blues, folk, or rock but I'm willing to listen to your ideas if what you are looking for doesn't fit into one of those categories. I promise I will tell you (before you pay) if I can or can NOT do what you are wanting.
And willing to travel the distance to all states
Well I Diana Nicole am an artist like no one has ever seen before. I am a small town girl from the town Fountain Inn, South Carolina with an undying, undeniable love of music. My artistic style is one that could be considered unique. It infuses all genres of music such as r&b, rock, blues, gospel, and pop, with the accompaniment of the baritone and the concert ukuleles. From the pen to the pad to the world, it is my dream to share my music with millions of people so that they may be inspired by some of the same thoughts and words that have inspired me.
The path that I am striving to take in this music industry is the path of many but only a few make, but if I can just touch one person it would be all worth it to me. At the current time i've been focusing on the writing and the composing part of my music plus the performance. I've even been writing for other artist, but I am now ready to take it all to the next level. I not only have the determination, but I also have the drive and the passion.
I have recently been involved in a local competition called Greenville Sings, and previously before that in a band called the Stella Rites. I've spent a lot of time on stage and performing in front of people. I finally feel like it’s my turn. Not only do I inspire to be an artist but I also desire to one day own my own production company. I hope to one day give someone the same opportunity that I hope someone will give me.
All throughout my life people such as my mother, father, teachers and etc. have asked me, "What do you want to do with your life?" My answer has always been the same, but a singer is not just what I want to be, it is what I am. I am an artist waiting for the world to see me.
Shakespeare quotes in his epic novel Hamlet "to be or not to be, that is the question." I am going to be.
