Dionya (pronounced Dee-on-ya) Marie is a genre-defying singer-songwriter whose emotionally resonant music has made an impact across Country, Pop and Adult Contemporary radio. Since releasing her debut single, “Andale Yeehaw,” in 2018, Dionya has built a dynamic catalog defined by honest storytelling, powerful vocals and undeniable crossover appeal.

Her breakout viral hit, “Calm Down Karen,” generated more than 50 million plays on TikTok before climbing to # 48 on the BDS/Billboard Top 40 Pop Indicator chart. Dionya followed that success with “Hands,” a Top 20 Adult Contemporary hit that held the distinction of being the format’s # 1 independent release for five consecutive weeks. Her holiday single, “Missing You Underneath the Mistletoe,” continued her momentum with another Top 20 AC chart run while showcasing the warmth and timeless quality of her voice.

Songs including “Gonna Take a Real Strong Man,” “Girl With No Last Name” and “You Don’t Know Me” further reveal Dionya’s gift for transforming personal experiences into compelling songs about resilience, identity and self-discovery.

Beyond music, Dionya is deeply committed to using her voice in service of others. In support of breast cancer awareness, she wrote the original songs “Stand Up & Live Strong” and “I Know I’m Beautiful,” performing them at Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events and breast cancer award ceremonies. Her philanthropic efforts have also supported Hope the Mission, Down Syndrome Tennis Camp, the AIDS Foundation, Children Uniting Nations, Vote NOH8, Toys for Tots and numerous community initiatives.

Dionya continued to build momentum at radio in 2024 with her single “Miss You So Mad,” which peaked at #23 on the Mediabase Adult Contemporary chart while also marking her debut on the Music Row Country chart. She followed that success in spring 2026 with “Don’t Blame the Child,” which climbed to #16 on the Mediabase Adult Contemporary chart and reached #3 among independent releases in the format. Continuing her commitment to creating emotionally driven music that resonates across genres and generations, Dionya will release her next single, “Leaving It All Behind,” in fall 2026.
