Diana Panton

Jazz vocalist Diana Panton’s latest FACTOR-funded release, I Believe in Little Things earned her a second win at the 2017 JUNOs.

This jazz album for kids and the young at heart simultaneously debuted #7 on the Billboard Jazz Chart and #11 on Billboard Children’s Chart upon its release in the US. The album went to #1 on the Jazz charts for Amazon Canada and iTunes Canada and topped sales charts in Japan and Taiwan.

Incredibly, the album earned the #1 spot on Amazon’s Movers and Shakers chart, recognizing the greatest increase percentage of sales in 24 hours (in any genre).

All seven of Diana’s critically acclaimed self-produced albums have made it onto numerous year-end lists, including those of Downbeat, Japan’s Jazz Critique magazine, NOW magazine, and The Montréal Mirror.

One gets the feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg for Panton.
