Alela Diane is an American singer and songwriter based in Portland, Oregon. Born on April 20, 1983 in Nevada City, California, she has captivated audiences with her soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics.
With a sound that blends folk, indie rock, and Americana influences, *Alela Diane* has carved out a unique place in the music industry. Her music resonates with listeners who appreciate raw emotion and introspective storytelling.
Inspired by artists such as Emily Jane White, Mariee Sioux, and Laura Veirs among others from a similar genre, *Alela Diane* has created a distinct musical style that sets her apart from the crowd. Her songs are filled with haunting melodies and poetic lyrics that leave a lasting impression.

Alela's 'Pirates Gospel' was our album of the year for 2007, and it seems that she has surpassed even that with this amazing album. To Be Still, the follow-up release from alternative folk artist Alela Diane, is an intimate, haunting affair that showcases her songwriting and singing skills. Focused chiefly on Diane’s voice and acoustic guitar, To Be Still recalls both the classic female folk singers like Karen Dalton and the spookier, more associative dimensions of contemporary artists like Marissa Nadler and Nina Nastasia. But while her voice lilts and lulls, it’s the poetry of her lyrics and their evocative narratives that make this sophomore effort truly shine.
