Diane Barry
President Barry Productions Inc.
Diane Barry began her career as a musician, singer – songwriter in Nashville TN searching for the bright lights and applause of the music industry. Instead she found herself in a different genre of the industry one many musicians spend a lifetime hoping for, a hit record. Her tenacity, passion, inspiration and love for music enabled her to write a hit song recorded by the famed Johnny Nash.
Diane understands the needs of the performer and the audience and strategically crafted a company dedicated to combining both of those ideals.
"Work hard, be twice as good with an equal respect for the client and artist alike."
Her keen eye and ear for talent made her a natural for the next step in her career… Seeking out talented musicians to form winning collaborations.
