As a child Birch lived with her family in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Sydney, Australia. When she was 10, her family returned to the United States of America. Diane attended Portland Adventist Elementary School and later, Portland Adventist Academy. Birch began studying piano using the Suzuki method at the age of seven and she listened to opera, classical and church music while growing up.
Birch moved to Los Angeles to compose music for films and instead played piano at the Beverly Hotel and L'Orangerie. Prince heard her perform at the Polo Lounge in 2006 and invited her to join him at his home for a music session with his band. Birch moved to London, signed a publishing contract and wrote most of the songs that appeared on her debut album.
Bible Belt is the debut album (2009). Birch wrote all the tracks on the album. Her backing band consists of Jay Foote on bass, vocals and tambourine, Eric Bloom on trumpet, flugelhorn and backing vocals, and Alex Foote on guitars and backing vocals. The lead single is "Nothing But a Miracle".
