At thirty five it's the one woman hit machine.

35                                       DIANE WARREN

Born 7th September 1956 in Van Nuys, California, USA. Diane Warren is the proverbial hit machine; she has written for all the major stars in the Adult Contemporary Music field, her success in Britain is remarkable; her record stateside is even better. She has been criticized for the way she writes her music, sometimes spending over twelve hours a day locked in her studio seven days a week, she has also been known to tenaciously pursue artists to record her songs, legend has it she begged on her hands and knees to Cher, so she would record If I Could Turn Back Time. Ironically as a child her music teacher claimed her to be tone deaf, she's proved that she's anything but.
