Diane was born in Van Nuys, California, USA on September 7, 1956 to
parents David and Flora Warren. She become a prolific writer in her
neighborhood, writing songs every day and eventually surpassing 1,000
of them. Her dad (an insurance salesman) took Diane to see publishers
who said she had potential, but to come back and see them in the
future. After signing with producer Jack White, circa 1983, the
partnership produced her songs "Solitaire" and "Hot Night", which was
recorded by Laura Branigan for the Ghostbusters (1984) soundtrack. It was also the
beginning of a long line of film song projects, which produced many
Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. After a legal battle with producer
Jack White, Diane started her own publishing company called "Real
Songs" in the late 80s. The company has the rights to all her songs and
makes deals with hundreds of artists (and record companies) who record
them.
