Diana Stabel

A darling of the jazz and folk genres, Edmonton-based vocalist Diana Stabel captures audiences with her seasoned technique, sensual and distinctive tone, expressive phrasing, and lucid sincerity.

Diana has been a regular in Edmonton’s live music scene for the past six years, including a four-year house gig at the La Ronde Revolving Restaurant, and her music has graced the radio airwaves of CBC and Magic 99. A few career highlights include performing to a sold-out crowd at Rexall Place for the Edmonton Oilers’ 2006-2007 season homecoming game, and more recently, sharing the stage with Juno Award winners Tom Cochrane, Colin James, Tom Lavin and Bill Bourne at the world-renowned Winspear Centre, in a concert celebrating the career of hockey icon Mark Messier.

In spring of 2006, Diana was one out of only 20 local artists awarded a grant from Rawlco Radio as part of their 10K 20 project. The result of it is Diana’s debut album, Wave, produced by Juno nominee and Canadian Indie Award winner Sandro Dominelli. The album is composed of nine jazz standards and features some of Canada’s finest jazz musicians including Chris Andrew on piano, Robert Walsh on guitar, Mike Lent on bass, and Sandro Dominelli on drums.

Constantly exploring new avenues of music, Diana is already compiling material for her next album, entitled Dreams, which will showcase her talents as both a vocalist as well as a songwriter, and will feature elements of folk, rock and pop music.
