Diana Vickers from Blackburn, England was first discovered on The X Factor in 2008. With her distinctive, and some would say, atypical TV talent show vocal style and voice, she finished 4th in the show, losing out to JLS and Alexandra Burke. The singer however was given the best deal when she refused to sign to Simon Cowell’s label, Syco, and instead signed to RCA Records where she sits aside artists like Alicia Keys and Avril Lavigne. Diana has since starred in theatre, in the show ‘Little Voice’. She has been nominated for a ‘What’s on Theatre Award’ thanks to her appearance on the exciting show. Diana is now set to release her debut single ‘Once’ on April 19th 2010 and her debut album on April 26th 2010. She co-wrote the whole record with artists such as Nerina Pallot, Ellie Goulding, Patrick Wolf and Lightspeed Champion.
