Bio
Eddie Towner
I taught Diana at Musicians Institute. She is very detail oriented & has a very strong work ethic. On many occasions she was willing to learn the little details that make a difference in the finished project. I'm also glad to call her my friend. She would be a terrific asset for any company & I would highly recommend her.
