Violinist and Songwriter Diana Yukawa will feature on BBC Radio 2 with Nitin Sawhney for his eclectic radio show “Nitin Sawhney Spins the Globe” on Monday 18th March 2013 at 10pm.

Especially for the Radio 2 show, the London based violinist collaborated with Nitin Sawhney on a track. Nitin spoke highly of the songwriter; “Diana’s tone is simply awe inspiring - a true virtuoso and a joy to work with.”

“Nitin Sawhney Spins the Globe” brings the presenters eclecticism to Radio 2 in a series exploring music from all cultures and traditions 'in a welcome melting of all boundaries' - From flamenco to pop; rock to Indian classical; punk to electronica; reggae to drum 'n' bass and from orchestral to folk, Nitin joins the dots between music and cultures around the globe.

The London based violinist has released three albums through Sony Music, the first when she was just 14 years old. Her last album “The Butterfly Effect” released in 2009 features original music co-written by the violinist.

Diana Yukawa is set to release her EP on 18th March 2013. The British artist will be releasing the 3 tracks, My Way Home, Juno and City of Shadows, worldwide (excluding Japan) digitally under the title Finding the Parallel.

In the years that followed her last album release with Sony Music, Yukawa has been working hard to establish her signature sound. In a recent interview, when asked about the music Yukawa described it as Electronic-Classical-Triphop. The music and the artist can only really be described as simply revolutionary and refreshing.... The London based songwriter and violinist feel’s that this EP has truly captured the sound she has been striving for.
