Fans will definitely be thrilled and
overwhelmed as The Voice Season 1 finalist, DIA FRAMPTON is bound to invade the
entire metro for a concert and series of TV and radio guestings.
Catch the rising American singer-songwriter, DIA FRAMPTON
Live in Manila this Saturday, January 5, 9PM at the Hard Rock Café, Makati.
Dia Frampton began with a dream: the dream to make music -
music that touches the heart and mind. Music that is inspirational
and intimate for everyone. This dream led her to start a band with her sister
Meg; collectively they called themselves Meg & Dia. Their band toured
worldwide with some of the most respected bands in Rock, and unexpectedly led
to the first season of NBC's hit television series, The
Voice.
As Meg & Dia, Dia and her band released albums on
various labels, most notably their 2009 release, "Here, Here and
Here" through Warner Brothers Records. Soon after the release, the
band parted ways with Warner to work independently on new music. The result,
"Cocoon," is a record filled with heart and soul, self-released and
recorded in the Frampton kitchen.
Wanting to support her band and promote "Cocoon"
fueled her impromptu decision to audition for NBC's The Voice.
Unknowingly, she quickly became a fan favorite. "I was surprised at
how far I went," reveals Dia. "The Voice has pushed everything into a
whole new realm."
On The Voice, millions of viewers fell in love with Dia's
mesmerizing vocals, unique interpretations of popular songs, and inimitable
style. Her performances of Kanye West's "Heartless" and
R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" as well as the original track,
"Inventing Shadows" caught fire online. They proved to be the
highest-charting iTunes digital songs from any contestant on The Voice.
"Inventing Shadows" even reached #1 on iTunes as well as #20 on the
Billboard Hot 100. Cumulatively, her solo digital releases exceed 500,000
downloads.
Upon finishing the show,
Universal Republic Records signed Dia, and she immediately began working on her
solo debut - due in stores December 6, 2011. The album's first single,
"The Broken Ones" takes flight on the strength of her powerful vocals
and heartfelt songwriting. However, it's only a prelude of what lies in store
on the record.
Preserving her indie roots, she's telling honest stories
via every new song that she writes, while channeling an undeniable, upbeat
vibe. As a result of that process, she makes inspirational, intimate,
and infectious music that draws from indie, pop, and rock
influenced by everyone from Tom Petty and Joni Mitchell to The Avett Brothers
and Mumford and Sons.
Dia declares, "I want to bring it back to the classic
singer-songwriter style. It can be magical without all of the bells and
whistles".
