eleasing her first full length album in May 2012, In This Skin, embraces the roots of folk music, while adding an edgy attitude to the genre. Pounding out explosive rhythms and intricate leads, she allows her guitar style to headline. Ready to face the tensions of expressive lyrical content, In This Skin, boldly addresses topics taboo to the general masses. Challenging her religiously structured childhood and examining the intimacy of her relationships, Chittester speaks openly about her experiences and their impacts. Her new CD is now available on iTunes and can be heard on Spotify. Diana and her label, Fighting Chance Records, recently partnered with Cleveland PFLAG in an effort to raise money and awareness for a cause that hits close to home. Diana is donating 50% of profits from CD sales directly back to the organization.
