Band History:
Diana began singing publicly at around age 5 with her family in the church choir. Still singing in the choir, Diana now plays acoustic and electric guitar and writes original songs.

In 1998, Diana had songs based on the Psalms published in a children's church school curriculum through Christian Board of Publication. An independently-released cassette, "Psalmthing to Sing About," followed.

In 1999, Tyler and the Christian rock band CRISIS independently released, "CRISIS and Diana Tyler." Diana currently writes and performs as a solo artist. She also does work as an actress and studio vocalist, and also plays in pit orchestras for theatrical productions.

In 2006, Diana performed her original song, "Dream On, Sisters!" at "The Mix in '06", a gathering of over 3,000 women from United Church of Christ and Disciples of Christ churches. The song was awarded the title of the event's accompanying cd, "Dream On Sisters!" A Musical Mix" which featured various songwriters, including Carrie Newcomer, Andra Moran and Laura Hall (from Drew Carey's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" tv show).

In 2007, Nashville's Rosebud Records released the Christmas album, "He's Christmas" by the women's country/gospel trio, J3. The disk contains Diana's song, "Only Joseph". The cut is also available on Rosebud Records' "A Rosebud Christmas", also released in December, 2007. Both cds are available for purchase at www.cafepress.com/rosebudrecords .

Anything else...?
