Reads lead Sheets & some sight reading
Musical styles rang from Rock to Blues Jazz Folk and world Music also electronica.

She composes in a variety of styles from pop to rock to Jazz and classical styles music.Diana is also expert in multi-media recording and music production.

As a multi-instrumentalist it's difficult often to reproduce the kind of stuff I record in live performance so if if you do get to hear a live version of a Glass Gage song it may sound a little different until cloning is perfected. Your influences? A little bit of everything, just missed being a child of the sixties, so lots of early prog rock, but also a lot of folk, a bit of jazz, and anything slightly of the beaten track.So Sounds a bit like King Crimson and Its a Beautiful day in some places. Any one remember Gong there were great too Also I did not realize but lots of old Hippie music influences too have managed to creep into the melange as well.
