performed the theme songs for the 2010 musical Magika, horror comedy Hantu Gangster (2012) and horror Kami Histeria (2014).

Tentang Kita, composed by DJ Fuzz with lyrics by Alabbas and Muariffah, is a pop-reggae tune which features a catchy chorus.

“Since this is my first single, I figured a radio-friendly tune would appeal to music listeners,” says Diana.

The Texas-born lass, who recorded the song in March last year, has been taking vocal lessons from Shafizawat­i Shariff, who was the vocal coach in popular TV reality show Akademi Fantasia.

Diana’s actor-director husband Farid Kamil is supportive of her branching out.

“He said ‘Finally!’,” she says, laughing.

“He knows how long I’ve wanted to do this,” she said at the launch of her single at Neway Karaoke Center in 1 Utama, Petaling Jaya recently.

Despite her excitement, Diana, whose mother is Malaysian, still can’t help but feel worried about being accepted in the music industry.

“It’s just like when I first started acting and people doubted my capabiliti­es. And over the years, I learnt the ropes and become better. The same applies to singing. I am taking baby steps and open to constructi­ve criticism.

“I want to be known as Diana, the actress and singer.”
