V-Correspondent - Dia Frampton

Dia Frampton's blog

This 23-year-old singer-songwriter from St. George, Utah is half Korean and half Dutch. Her career aspiration has been to be a voice-over actress, but her considerable singing talents may just steer her elsewhere. A life-long bookworm, Dia also writes novels and children's books.

Musicians Making It Happen

The best thing about this show (and this "ride" shall I call it?) so far, has been meeting all the other artists.

These aren't people who are waitresses or retail workers dreaming of becoming musicians.  These are people who aren't dreaming, but working for it every single day.  Some people are in a band at home like me.  Some people have been touring all their lives.  Some used to be on a label but were dropped, like me.  Some were on a label and recorded a record but it never came out...  that happens more often than you'd like to think.  Some sang on Broadway.  Some have done a few talent shows like this before.  Some are seasoned song writers who have written songs that have been on the top charts.  Some sing in Barber shop quartets at home.  These are musicians, artists, singers from all walks of life, and they're all stuffed into this hotel with me and I get so excited each morning to wake up and go pick their brains.  

Curtis and I, (a wonderful country singer) even got to writing a song together which I think turned out pretty well.  It's fun to write songs with other artists I respect.  I hope to write some more, perhaps with Tje Austin (great singer!) or my room mate Angela Wolff.  (She's the most positive, optimistic and awesome person I have met in a long time).  I have actually been good at remembering everyone's names.  I'm usually terrible with names.
