You see it in her life's work and you hear it when she opens her mouth to sing. DIANNA (PRONOUNCED DEE-ANNA) HOBBS is destined for greatness in the Kingdom. After one listen to her music, you'll agree. “Vocal Lyricist” is a title often given to one who masterfully fuses vocal agility with substantive lyrical content to create rousing music. This fusion of sound and substance captures the heart and soul of Double Edge Ministries artist, Dianna—the diminutive singer with the big voice. When you hear the digital release of her self-penned, urban single, “Purpose,” produced by Kre8tor (Double Edge Ministries), you'll know that Dianna Hobbs, also the nationally respected Founder and Editor In Chief of EEWMagazine.com, the #1 online magazine for Christian women of color, is set to storm the Contemporary Gospel music scene just as she has the online publishing industry over the past several years. An electrifying vocalist, superior songwriter and charismatic performer, Dianna is eager to push boundaries—both sonically and lyrically. With musical influences like CeCe Winans, Natalie Grant, and Nicole C. Mullen, Dianna delivers a uniquely aggressive sound, tinged with an eclectic mix of Christian pop, rock and soul. “I'm inspired by gripping melodies, soul-piercing lyrics, and simplistically pure vocal performances” shares Dianna. “I've always been drawn to artists with a true heart for God, that could seamlessly deliver all three.” Currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on her full debut album to be released later this year, Dianna, though initially reluctant, is excited to unveil her musical side that she has kept hidden from the readers of her popular online magazine and inspirational blog. “I just felt God tugging at me to finally share the musical gift He's placed in me to minister to others,” says Dianna. “Everything has a season and set time and I believe this is the set time for the music.” Dianna's new undertaking in no way means she is abandoning her nationwide online publishing platform that helps thousands of Christian women. “My desire to inspire is what fuels and strengthens my convictions. I could never imagine abandoning something I feel so called to, you know?" says the singer who juggles numerous roles. These days, the wife of 12 years, homeschooling mother of four, and entrepreneur who is busy negotiating major deals with leading corporations, ghostwriting books for ministry leaders and business executives, speaking at conferences, and managing her own dedicated staff, is giving her life away to pursue the call of God. The lyrics of her breakout single, Purpose, make it clear that she is serious about living the message in her melody and believes that others should be too. You'll feel the intense delivery of the soul-stirring words, “You've gotta do it/If He called you to it/Don't make no excuses/Take hold of your destiny!” Dianna channels her own inner-struggle and unleashes a power-packed vocal performance that takes the already lyrically intriguing song to a new level. “In many ways, the lyrics are like an autobiographical snapshot of the mental turmoil and inner wrestling I've been experiencing over the decision to delve into music or walk away from it,” the artist explains. “I kept vacillating back and forth for years until God said, just do what I said!”
