Above all her musical talents, Diane King considers herself a songwriter. But when her mentor, legendary hit songwriter Harlan Howard, told her “You should be singing your own songs,” she took it to heart.

 

King’s voice and musicianship lend themselves to Americana, Country, and Singer-Songwriter genres, although King writes without limits. With a pure vocal and heavy on the harmonies, King delivers her heart-felt songs with memorable melodies, and not a word wasted. Acoustic guitar in hand and true to her Appalachian roots, King is authentic and in it to do some good. Often compared to Brandi Carlile and Mary Chapin Carpenter, she appeals to a thoughtful audience who enjoys great music and having a good time.

 

After a long-time presence in the Nashville music scene as a songwriter, singer, musician, and business person, King took a pause to kick cancer. Now, she’s returning with a new recording project, “SKY.”

 

With “SKY,” King performs her original songs, which span from Country to Rock to Americana. King partners in the co-production of “SKY” with Stephan Oberhoff, a recent L.A. to Nashville transplant who has worked with the likes of Quincy Jones and Melissa Manchester. They are a musical team to be reckoned with. King and Oberhoff are joined on the “SKY” project by A-List Nashville musicians whose talents abound, and it’s heard in every note.

 

As King jumps back into the music market, she’s sure to be a presence with her gripping songs and passion for music. She sings, plays, produces, but mostly... she’s a songwriter!
