Diane Warren (Born Diane Eve Warren on September 7, 1956 in Van Nuys, California) is an American songwriter. She is one of the most successful and prolific songwriters to ever work in the music industry. She was the first songwriter in the history of Billboard to have seven hits, all by different artists, on the singles chart at the same time. Warren owns her own publishing company, Realsongs, which gives her control over her own compositions. She has her songs featured in more than 70 films or TV-shows listed on the Internet Movie Database^[1].

As of 2006, her songs have received six Academy Award nominations, four Golden Globe nominations, and seven Grammy Award nominations. She finally won a Grammy for Best Song From A Movie for "Because You Loved Me". She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2001.

[edit] Career

Warren told NPR's Scott Simon that she got into trouble, and ran away as a teen, but returned because she missed her cat. "Music saved me," she said. Warren also has said that her own mother asked her to give up her dream of a songwriting career^[2] and take a secretarial job. However, her father continued to believe in her and encouraged her. She wrote the song "Because You Loved Me" as a tribute to her father for his encouragement.

Her first hit was "Solitaire", which Laura Branigan took to No. 7 in the US pop charts in 1983.

Most of Warren's songs deal with romantic themes. In spite of that, she has never been married and says she has never been in love and does not enjoy dating.^[3] In 2004 (2005 or even 2006 in some countries), she released a compilation album of love songs, entitled Diane Warren Presents Love Songs, which includes her most notable love songs, such as "Because You Loved Me" and "Un-Break My Heart". The track listing slightly varies in different countries. In the CD, Trisha Yearwood's version of "How Do I Live" is included, not the original version by LeAnn Rimes, possibly because Rimes already had a song in the collection, "Can't Fight the Moonlight". Monica's "For You I Will", however, is notably missing from the collection. Recently, Diane has been dubbed Queen of the Ballad.
