Diana Hickman

An edgy and dramatic artist with a reverence for the mystical, Diana Hickman blends the quirky stylings of avant pop with the deep grooves and harmonic sophistication of soul, R&B and Jazz. A California native, Hickman relocated to the east coast over a decade ago to attend Boston Conservatory and then settled into a new life in one of the world’s creative capitals, New York City. With appearances at big name clubs including the Blue Note Jazz Club, Webster Hall, and Brooklyn Bowl, as well as extensive regional tours, Hickman has distilled her stage presence to smoky smooth perfection. Her sound channels singular giants such as Kate Bush, Bjork, Erykah Badu, and Amy Winehouse without ever falling into parody. Diana’s bandmates share a caliber of excellence in musicianship that sets the bar for New York’s best, with each player adding to a collectively robust list of accomplishments, and touring that has taken their talent to every continent.
