Diana, currently one of the most sought-after local female singers, has said in interviews that she started singing at 16 when she was in secondary school at Kampala Citizens College.
The songstress, who has said she used to be shy, was inspired to join music while in that school because everyone there was interested in music.
At 17, she had already written and released a song. This was after mum told her to switch genres and leave rapping. Her first song was Nze akwagala.
It was in 2014 after linking up with the likes of Maro and Geosteady that connected her to Fizol of Avie records that she produced her first hit song titled Onsanula.
To push her music, Spice Diana would go to clubs straight from school, which she attended with extra clothes.
She did that for two years, performing at clubs like Wallet Pub, Mona Lisa, Silk, and High Table every day of the week.
The Tujooge hitmaker, who did Industrial Art at Makerere University, almost dropped out of school when she had out-of-country trips to among other countries, Dubai and UK, but she decided to focus on education.
While at Avie Records, she also collaborated with Pallaso in 2015 to drop another club banger titled Koona, but she later left to join the Twinkle Star Management of Emma Carlos who was the then manager of Khalifa Aganaga.
It was after there that she met her current manager Roger who had separated from Ziza Bafana. Before Roger, Humble Management managed her for a bit.
Diana has since released multiple well-received songs and collaborated with established musicians both locally and internationally.
