Diana Gordon
Musician, New York City
Queen's native Diana Gordon, is an American singer-songwriter who was the mastermind behind the infamous lyric "Becky with the good hair." She credits the beginning of her career to her time as a 17 year old coat checker in a Brooklyn nightclub when Mary J. Blige listened to her CD. Moving away from dance music and evolving into artistry that best represented her being, Diana released Pure, an EP marked by her striking voice and emotional candour.
