In a candid interview with MC Lawry on the Orange Overdrive, renowned Ghanaian gospel singer Diana Hamilton opened up about her diverse career journey, spanning music, nursing, fashion, and more. With a career that began in the ’90s as a backing vocalist and blossomed into a celebrated gospel artist, Diana’s story is one of faith and resilience.
Early Beginnings in Music
Diana Hamilton’s musical journey started at an early age. She recalled her days as a backing vocalist for Francis Agyei at just 14. Although these early years were not considered a commercial endeavour, they laid the foundation for her passion for music. It wasn’t until 2007 that she officially entered the gospel music scene with her debut album.
A Life of Balancing Roles
Apart from her music career, Diana Hamilton is also a qualified nurse. She shared her experiences of balancing her nursing duties with her musical career. “I did and still do practice nursing,” she stated, highlighting her dedication to both her patients and her music. This dual commitment showcases her versatility and dedication to making a difference in multiple spheres.
Fashion Designer and Entrepreneur
Diana is not just a nurse and singer; she also owns a fashion brand, DH by DH. Her love for fashion is evident in how she dresses her band and singers, especially during significant events like “The Experience.” She proudly mentioned how her brand provided clothing for the entire crew, emphasizing her hands-on involvement in her fashion business.
The Inspiration Behind ‘The Doing of the Lord’ Song
One of the highlights of the interview was Diana’s discussion of her latest song, “The Doing of the Lord.” The song, deeply spiritual and reflective, was inspired by a visit to her childhood home in Kumasi. Walking through her old neighbourhood and reminiscing about her journey, Diana felt a profound sense of gratitude for how far she had come. “It’s purely the doing of the Lord,” she remarked, attributing her success to divine intervention.
A Passion for Family and Creating Memories
Diana’s love for family shines through as she discusses her favourite activities during vacations. Whether visiting Disney with her children or simply spending quality time, creating lasting memories is always at the forefront. She humorously noted how family vacations are less about her getting ready and more about ensuring her kids are prepared and excited for their adventures.
Upcoming Events and Final Thoughts
The interview wrapped up with a mention of her upcoming event, “The Awake Experience with Diana Hamilton,” set to take place at the Bantama Church of Pentecost. She encouraged fans to come expecting a powerful move of God, emphasizing the spiritual atmosphere and meticulously planned performances that attendees could look forward to.
In her final words, Diana expressed gratitude to her sponsors and supporters, including Awake Purified Drinking Water, Enterprise Life, and Zoomlion, among others. She also highlighted the availability of exclusive merchandise at the event, with proceeds supporting the Diana Hamilton Foundation.
