Written and edited by Smokiller

Diana Chapman is a singer from Linden, Guyana, who spent years near the top of the national soca and calypso contests before winning the Soca Monarch in 2025. News Source Guyana called her a former Calypso Monarch when she finished second in the 2021 Soca Monarch, then her best result in that contest. In 2023 HGPTV reported that she came second again with "Therapy Whine", scoring 249 points to Adrian Dutchin's 250, a week after placing second in the senior calypso final. Her act that night had her playing an amputee dancing on a crutch. HGPTV confirmed her 2025 Soca Monarch win and said she planned to add R&B and rap to her work. In 2026 she sang "Welcome to My Home" from a crane above the stage in her hometown and placed fourth. She also won the grand prize in a 2022 GTT jingle competition. Her catalogue includes "Stage", "Man Shortage" and "My Home".
