Биография

Having first burst onto the music scene with her Juno-nominated debut album Open Your Eyes, Taylor’s career trajectory has been truly remarkable. With performances at festivals and concert theatres across the United States, Canada and Asia for audiences that have included the President of the United States and Queen Elizabeth II, she has made a praiseworthy name for herself as one of this country’s most talented singer-songwriters. Dione was nominated for a Gemini Award for her rendition of Oscar Peterson’s “Hymn to Freedom,” which she performed alongside Oliver Jones at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala. Since being released, Born Free has been getting frequent airplay on local and college radio stations globally. Dione was also selected to perform at the 2016 FMO Conference in Ottawa, in November at the Ontario CONTACT conference in Peterborough and as part of the Women’s Blues Revue at Massey Hall in Toronto. Dione was also selected to play at The Blues Summit Eight, January 2017 in Toronto as well as having been selected for an Official Showcase at The Folk Alliance International conference, February 2017 in Kansas City, MO. On June 29, 2017, Dione was invited to be a part of the Canada Day 150 celebrations in Ottawa to perform at The Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards 25th Anniversary. Once again, she sang Oscar Peterson’s powerful “Hymn to Freedom” this time with The National Arts Centre Orchestra. <br>
