As a young child, Diane could be found drumming with pots and pans on any given day. At age 8, she received her first drum set. Diane added guitar to her repertoire at age 13, and continued her study of both instruments throughout childhood. At the encouragement of her father, a fellow musician, she went on to make music her career.
Diane holds a bachelor's degree in Music from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. She has also served in the military as a percussionist, and has performed twice at the White House. Diane quotes Buddy Rich, Steve Gadd and The U.S. Army Field Band among her top influences.
