At a young age Diana was already singing, and she performed at the 1997 Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards, and took part in stage productions including “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”. She then joined The Cartoon Network as a part of the Cartoon gang, and was later a Coca-Cola Kid in the 1996 Summer Olympics Atlanta. She continued performing over the years, then was named as Miss Georgia Teen in 2002. Her net worth was established.

In 2004, she joined the third season of “American Idol” and finished as a runner up to winner Fantasia Barrino. During her time on the show, she never slipped into the bottom two, and started to gain popularity mid-season before becoming one of the top contenders of the show. She competed in the show at the age of 16 and would tour with the rest of the contestants during the summer of 2004. After the finale of the show, she was signed by RCA Records and would release the single “Dreams”, which reached 14th spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Her debut album entitled “Blue Skies” was released at the end of the year, and debuted in 52nd spot on the Billboard 200, selling well despite not having much advertising, and helping to increase her net worth.

She then recorded a song for the Disney movie “Ice Princess”, followed in 2007 by deciding to record a pop/R&B album, but eventually backed out to return to country music. Two years later, she released an acoustic EP entitled “Unplugged in Nashville”, and then released another song entitled “Good Goodbye” which was used by her character in “The Young and the Restless” TV series in 2011-12.

Aside from her music career, she started performing on stage in major productions beginning with 2005’s “West Side Story”. She became part of the production of “Hairspray” as well as “Godspell”. In 2009, she starred in “Back to Bacharach and David” before becoming the narrator in a “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” production. She then went to work on the off-Broadway musical “The Toxic Avenger” before touring as part of “9 to 5”. One of her latest projects is 2015’s “The Wizard of Oz”. All of these projects helped her net worth rise further.

Diana has also done television and film work, beginning with 2011’s “The Young and the Restless” which she portrayed Angelina Veneziano. The following year, she was cast in “Wyatt Earp’s Revenge” and then made a cameo appearance in the Lifetime special “All About Christmas Eve”. In 2013, she starred in the independent film “Alto”, before being cast in “The Morning Sun” which is based on the play “The Morning the Sun Fell Down”.

#Quote
1I have found that the best thing to do in life is to look forward to the future and not dwell on the past. We all have problems. We can use them as an excuse or a stepping stone, but how we handle them is what sets us apart as human beings. Life is a giant school, and what we do with those lessons is up to us.
2I grew up listening to Patsy Cline. I was a huge Patsy Cline fan. I still am. Even though she's considered country, I think of her more as a blues singer. She's got a great blues voice and she has such an amazing story, which I always loved. I knew her entire greatest hits album backwards, forwards and inside out. My mother would try and skip over some of the songs to make the tape shorter and I'd go, "Hey, you missed one! You missed one!"
3Because I came in second place, it makes me want to work harder
4I've been doing this sort of thing my entire life. It's my love, it's my passion, it's what I do day in and day out. I eat, sleep, and breathe music and singing.
5I have a very voluptuous rear, I have a J. Lo butt and I'm proud of it!
