Autorenporträt
Born in leafy Hampshire, DiElle came from a musical family, one of her earliest memories being of lying under the piano at her Nan's house during a family sing song at the age of perhaps 4 years old. With her mother and father both being musical, there was always music in the house, and DiElle's dad put a guitar in her hand first of all when she was about 3. He always played and encouraged his children to play, sing and be creative. Although DiElle had piano lessons at school from the age of 5, it was singing that really spoke to her first. Having given her first solo performance at the age of 8, DiElle also channelled her fertile imagination into writing short stories and poetry around this time. This continued until her early teens when her love of guitar flourished, and those two creative powers met in the form of songwriting. Ever curious, DiElle studied voice, music, songwriting and music business from the age of 11 onwards. The intervening years were turbulent, having lost a childhood friend and volunteered in Sri Lanka for a year by her late teens; travel, love and loss fuelled her inspiration, which resulted in producing three studio albums, Beautiful Monday in 2009, Fearless 2014 and Together 2017. Infused with a love of original songwriters like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Carole King from her parents' record collection, DiElle is a lover of a good story, a singable melody and a lyric inspired by life experience. With an eclectic taste in music, deep belief in music being a healer and a means of communication for people from all walks of life, her creations have covered folk, rock, pop, reggae, and cinematic styles as well as a more traditional acoustic 'singer-songwriter' genre. DiElle's music career has spanned the greatest changes in the music industry, and is now unrecognisable from where she began, but a love of creating, singing and sharing music perseveres. DiElle now lives back in Wickham, her childhood stamping ground, with her own studio where she works composing and teaching music, as well as producing her own live shows. With her 4th studio release, the EP Candlelight, she wanted to do something different, to revive the excitement of having something in your hand when you got new music. Something she remembers well from childhood, that is now lost in the current trend of digital downloads and streaming. Having played with many musicians, DiElle is currently performing in an acoustic trio with formidable musicians John Gleadall and Chris Wood, and having the time of her life to boot.
