"In a musical genre whose hottest starlets currently are virtual pop-rock divas like Shania Twain and Deana Carter, Diesel's lack of
glitz and gloss....is a refreshing change of pace." Jim Price, The Final

Details:
Nashville-based recording artist Diesel left her island home of Maui early in 2003. A recipient of the prestigious Jim Beam Music Grant, Diesel is a breathy and emotional vocalist, received by reviewers as a "skilled, down-to-earth singer with soulful, knowing vocals". Her music is subtle and understated, she may actually be the antithesis of today's power-pop singers.
Since arriving in Nashville Diesel has toured the midwest, appeared on college and public radio programs throughout the region, and showcases regularly on Nashville's Americana Tonight! hosted by Mark Wehner. Although she typically tours as an acoustic duo with producer Josh Whitmore, her Nashville performances include the talented Lorne Rall, Thomm Jutz, Pat McInerney, and Lynne Cook.
In 2005, Diesel teamed up with Nashville Artist Celeste Johnson (www.celestejohnsonmusic.com) to form "Soul Food - Feed Your Soul and Feed Your Community", a benefit that has raised thousands of dollars in Nashville as well as Rosemary Beach, Florida, and will soon be touring regionally, benefiting food banks in neighboring cities.
"I'll Be Ready In A Minute..." is Diesel's debut release, recorded both on the island of Maui and in Nashville at the start of the long-running collaboration between Diesel and producer/co-writer Josh Whitmore.
