Lindener Diana Chapman-Clarke stole the hearts the crowd and judges at the Banks DIH Demerara Park two Fridays ago, when she marched to the front of the line and was crowned the queen of the adult calypso competition with an electrifying performance of her piece “Put Your House in Order”.
And while she is no stranger to the singing stage the 25-year-old old artiste surprisingly revealed to The Scene that singing was never her thing but rather she was always a dancer.
All of this changed one day: “I always wanted to sing but didn’t realise I had the potential to do so until one day I was singing to myself and Michael James, a writer in Linden heard me and told me that I could sing and that I should try it. He wrote me my first song, which I performed at Carifesta at the Linden leg [2008],” Diana said.
Since then she has not looked back and has been singing at different events and in competitions for years.
