Her Story
The rich artistic environment of Northern and Southern California have served as the training grounds for this native vocalist and performer, who has been exploring and developing her vocal and theatrical skills since the late 70s. Since moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, Norma has continued her ongoing vocal training, music theory and music history studies, becoming adept at musical styles ranging from popular song to musical theater and standards.
Norma Diana has contributed her vocal talents to groups including The Brazil Dance Review, The Glide Ensemble, Westwind Voices, the Woodminster Musical Theater Summer Series and several local talent showcases, performing in venues ranging from the Palace of Fine Arts, the Herbst Theater, Candlestick Park and the Fairmont Hotel to local bars and cafes. She is equally at ease in large groups, combos, duos or as a soloist.
Norma makes a small yet enjoyable vocal contribution in the wonderfully latin spiced original soundtrack score of the film ” The Whole Ten Yards,” written by composer/conductor John Debney. She is featured in the song “Frida Kahlo” by the San Francisco based Latin Soul Syndicate, which is prominently used in the film. Norma can be credited as co-lyricist for that the song.
