Diana Garnet (born August 25, 1988) is an American singer signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan.[1]

Biography

Born in Washington, D.C., United States, Diana was influenced by her father, a fan of anime and manga, and grew up interested in Japanese culture.[1][2] In particular, she was greatly impressed and influenced by Japanese music used in anime, which motivated her to pursue a singing career in Japan. Her interest in the country was further sparked by two year-long exchanges in Japan in both High School and university.[3][4] Upon graduating from university, she relocated to Tokyo, Japan to work as an Assistant Language Teacher while doing freelance narration and vocals for radio and advertisements.[4] This eventually led to an appearance on NTV's singing competition Nodojiman the! World,[5] where she won the Spring 2013 edition.[6] Following her victory, she signed with Sony Music Artists, and made her major debut in October 2013 under Sony Music Records.[1] Her second single, Spinning World, was used as the ending theme song for the anime Naruto.[7][8] Her third single, Nankai! Mystery, is currently the theme song to the anime Tantei Team KZ.[9]
