Vale Diana Torossian
We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of music industry veteran, Diana Torossian.
Torossian was a huge supporter of local music and managed some of Australia’s biggest songwriters through her company, DT Talent Management, including Sarah Aarons, Lindsay Rimes, David Musumeci and Anthony Egizii (DNA), who wrote hits for The Veronicas, Samantha Jade, Dami Im, Jessica Mauboy and Delta Goodrem, to name a few.
Prior to going independent, she worked for a number of major record labels and was manager of A&R and Licensing at BMG Music Publishing, signing some of Australia’s most successful songwriters like Baby Animals, Hoodoo Gurus and Diesel.
Dean Ormston, CEO of APRA AMCOS, says: “Di was an incredible force, finding and nurturing some of Australia’s most prolific songwriters. Our thoughts go out to her family and friends at this difficult time, and to all of our songwriter members who had the benefit of working with such a powerhouse talent.”
