“A confident, flavorful groove redolent of Woodstock-era The Band and
Van Morrison”. (Richard Cromelin, Los Angeles Times)
“The artist has a strong knack for crafting upbeat songs. As a vocalist,
Williamson is no slouch, creating a somewhat breathy Joan Osborne-like tone.
A voice well suited to her material.”
(Music Connection Magazine)
“A masterful integration of sounds that are more experimental in nature
than you're likely to find on most records of this genre. It seems trite to
call a record beautiful -- it's such a shallow and subjective word. But just
take my word for it this time ... the record may be called Deer in the Headlights,
but Williamson deserves to be in the spotlight and on your CD player. (Indiemusic.com)
Singer, songwriter Diana Williamson travels the byroads of today's pop music
with her unique twist of Southern rock, blues and folk. "That is the
voice of an artist" (producer David Cole/Richard Marx, Farm Dogs, Bob
Seger).
When not writing and performing, (having just been nominated for a LA Music
Award for female adult alternative), Diana also lends her songs to other artists
and film and tv. Watch out for the upcoming movie “Two Hitmen”
which features her song November in June. She also produced the album “New
Modern Christmas Classics”, with the single performed by former Temptation
Ali Woodson with Jeff Lorber on keys. (Available at cdbaby.com)

remix by Delerium (of Sarah McLachlan) fame by EMI artist Sasha Lazard along

on the Billboard Classical Crossover charts. The song was later released on
RCA, Buddah Bar, “Chill out in Paris #3”, Water Dance Music, Neurodisc
and Blue Flame Records and in the movie Rebel Angel. Her song “Falling”
cowritten with hitmaker to the stars producer Narada Michael Walden and Florian
Richter went #13 first week out for Warner Brother’s pop artist Judith
Lefeber. She wrote “Cold Comfort” with blues artist Jimmy Rip
which became the single and was later featured on House of Blues “Hot
Biscuits” compilation (guitarist for Mick Jagger’s solo projects).
She’s placed songs in films, Warner Brothers' "Queen of the Damned,"
Jean-Claude Van Damme's "Return of the Universal Soldier," Gary
Busey's "Detour," title track for James Russo's "Silent Fury,"
