Diane Solomon Biography
Diane grew up in Oregon, and says she can't remember a time when she wasn't singing. Her father gave her a guitar for Christmas when she was 13, and she taught herself folk and country styles, and started to write songs. At 19, believing her first talent was acting, she headed off to England, determined to study acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. But life can take some funny turns. Before she could arrange an interview, she was literally "discovered", playing her guitar and singing to a small, private, New Year's Eve party at a London hotel. A BBC television producer was there, a screen test followed, and the result was a network primetime series of variety specials! "The Diane Solomon Show" of the late seventies, was a great success, and she quickly became a regular on British TV, with other specials of her own, and numerous guest appearances, including several Royal Gala Specials. She recorded 5 albums, appeared on countless radio shows, TV hosting, and musical theater productions. She headed four major UK Theater concert tours of her own, toured with Glen Campbell on three European tours, and opened for a major Kenny Rogers' tour in 1991.
But then life took another turn, this time not so fortunate. She was diagnosed with the infamous M.E., or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and for the next three years was too ill to walk across the room unaided. In the darkest hours songwriting was her saving grace, and the title cut of her new CD, "Good Things Don't Come Easy" was born of this troubled time. With the help a brilliant German homeopathic system of healing, plus nutrition and herbs, she regained her health. Diane was so impressed with these alternate therapies that she has since gained degrees in both nutrition and homeopathy, achieving a doctorate degree from the British Institute of Homeopathy. She has also written a practitioners' guide to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, hoping to be able to help others afflicted with this dreadful disease.
Diane lives in beautiful Fairfield County, Connecticut, where she writes and records in the 24-track studio in her home. She writes soft country, folk, and classcial ballads, playing both guitar and piano. As a nutritionist and homeopath, she sees clients who suffer everything from allergies to CFS, from menopausal problems to high cholesterol. She has written several non-fiction books, two screenplays, and is hard at work on her first novel. Sometimes called a "Renaissance Woman", she writes, edits, researches, and performs, always seeking more knowledge, more understanding, and more creative flow.

dear Diane - I have just set up my favourite video for my family to watch. It is the one with BJ Robinson - I love that one. My daughter is now 36, when she was at junior school she had a teacher that reminded me of you and I could not wait for parents' evening. So good to hear that you have come through the other side of your own personal difficulties. All the best for your future endeavours. God bless. Xxx
