Album Notes

A rather unique vocalist, Dusky Diana combines Funk, Soul, and Hip Hop music with the epic story of a would-be hero. Although many groups are combining classic soul with contemporary Hip Hop, she is set apart from the rest through the use of comic book mythology to support her musical exploration. Ms. Dusky is "another kind of super hero" whose lyrics swing from English to Spanish, whose vocal style has been compared to the likes of Minnie Riperton and Lauryn Hill, and whose performances are often episodic and given in full super hero regalia. Dusky Diana combines theater and motion comics in live performance, creating news ways to experience and define a Hip Hop concert. Visually, she is backed by Noirworldwide, a Philadelphia based company specializing in interactive web design and animation. Musically, she is backed by the NYC based Hip Hop collective Community Education. Ms. Dusky's roots in Latin music and education in musical theater combine well with the collective’s affection for Funk, Soul, and Doo Wop. The collective gained recognition with their debut LP The South Bronx Sessions. They have been impressing audiences from New York to Germany and are currently performing in Europe.
