Her roots began in Manchester's Moss Side in the early 80s scene. Starting off in a battle of the bands scenario Diane soon became an associated member of legendary R'n'B group 52nd Street. Picked up by Factory Records (New Order) and later managed by ex wife of legendary Tony Wilson (Hacienda), Diane continued her early successes with the band to include 'Tell Me How It Feels' which went on to tear up the US Billboard Charts reaching number 15.

The early nineties saw Diane working with Howie B and Dobie (Soul II Soul) in the diverse group Nomad Soul, hits included 'Candy Mountain' and 'Psyko Funk'. Then came the monumental breakthrough of 'Inner City Life'. This track along with Goldie's 'Timeless' album significantly changed the nature of jungle as we had once knew it. Adding jazz soul flavour and melody, Diane imprinted a distinctive feminine side to what had been an aggressive scene of hard hitting beats and mean bass lines.
