Diana Garnet (born August 25, 1988) is an American singer signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan.
Born in Washington, D.C., United States, Diana was influenced by her father, a fan of anime and manga, and grew up interested in Japanese culture. In particular, she was greatly impressed and influenced by Japanese music used in anime, which motivated her to pursue a singing career in Japan. Her interest in the country was further sparked by two year-long exchanges in Japan in both High School and university. Upon graduating from university, she relocated to Tokyo, Japan to work as an Assistant Language Teacher while doing freelance narration and vocals for radio and advertisements. This eventually led to an appearance on NTV's singing competition Nodojiman the! World, where she won the Spring 2013 edition. Following her victory, she signed with Sony Music Artists, and made her major debut in October 2013 under Sony Music Records. Her second single, Spinning World, was used as the ending theme song for the anime Naruto: Shippuden. Her third single, Nankai! Mystery, is currently the theme song to the anime Tantei Team KZ.
