ABOUT DIAMOND DIXIE
Diamond Dixie is a Nashville-based country duo made up of sisters Gabriela and Bianca LeDuc, known for their natural harmonies, commanding live energy, and modern country sound infused with classic rock influence. Champions of Ole Red’s nationwide Battle of the Bands, the duo has opened for Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Little Texas, and Neal McCoy, performed VIP sets for Miranda Lambert, Florida Georgia Line, and Luke Bryan, and taken the stage at iconic venues and festivals including House of Blues, CMA Fest, Hard Rock Tampa, and Runaway Country Music Festival. With a fan base of over one million followers across social platforms, Diamond Dixie has built both a powerful live following and a massive digital presence rooted in authenticity, consistency, and undeniable sisterly chemistry.
2026 marks a turning point for Diamond Dixie with a new EP that ushers in their most confident and fully realized era to date. Written after a year of playing more than 40 live shows, the project was born from a desire to refresh their setlist with songs that more accurately reflect who they are now — both as artists and as sisters. “The majority of these songs were definitely written from real life experiences,” Bianca shares. “When writing for this EP, we wanted to get very specific with some lyrics based on true events because we realized there’s a level of relatability with the oddly specific details.” Rooted in modern country with clear classic rock influence, the EP captures the same high-energy intensity fans experience at a Diamond Dixie live show. As Bianca defines it, “This EP marks a new era of Diamond Dixie defined by unapologetic confidence and incorporating heavy sounds that make you want to shout these songs at the top of your lungs.”
​
Throughout the EP, Diamond Dixie embraces themes of heartbreak, emotional resilience, and personal growth. “Going through bad situations in life shapes you into a better person,” Gabriela expresses. “The best way to go about these situations is to go through it and to feel your emotions and not suppress them.” Rather than chasing polished perfection, the sisters focus on honesty — writing about breakups, lived experiences, and the complicated emotions that follow. Their songwriting process is deeply collaborative, with Gabriela often shaping melody while Bianca builds chord structures and lyrical frameworks, a balance that reflects how their strengths naturally complement one another. The result is music that feels raw, relatable, and emotionally immediate.
​
At the core of Diamond Dixie is sisterhood. “Growing up together, we were always super close and did everything together,” Gabriela says. “Once we both got into music, it became very easy for us to find harmonies together and feed off of each other’s stage presence because we had this kind of sisterly bond.” That bond shapes everything, from their onstage chemistry to the way they create and communicate through music.
​
Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, the sisters’ musical journey began at home, learning guitar from their father at a young age. Music quickly became an emotional outlet. “Our dad would always tell us that if we had a bad day at school, just pick up the guitar and start playing,” Gabriela reflects. “In hindsight, he was teaching us how to put our emotions into music.” Influenced by their dad’s love of ’70s and ’80s hard rock and their mom’s preference for country, Diamond Dixie’s sound formed at the intersection of grit and storytelling. Early performances at school events, church functions, and community festivals instilled discipline, confidence, and a fearless approach to the stage.
While music was always taken seriously, a 2015 trip to Nashville proved pivotal. “From the beginning we always took music seriously, but when it finally clicked with us was when we first went to Nashville and started networking with other songwriters and business people in the industry,” Gabriela explains. After years of traveling back and forth, they officially relocated to Nashville, treating Diamond Dixie as a full-time pursuit. Immersed in the city’s songwriting and live music community, their sound evolved into something more rock-forward and intentional. “Once we got to Nashville and got connected with the music scene, we wanted to try and find a way to make our music stand out,” Gabriela adds.
​
Renowned for their live shows, Diamond Dixie has learned how to command a stage under any circumstance. “The show must go on,” Bianca says. “You’ve got to figure out a way to work with whatever issues you have, but still put on a show in a way that makes the crowd not even notice anything is going wrong.” Watching seasoned headliners further shaped their philosophy. “The person on stage is the one that directs the whole energy of the show,” Bianca explains. “If you’re having fun, the crowd is going to have fun. If you’re telling an emotional story, the crowd is going to feel that too.”
That same sense of connection fuels their digital presence. After winning Ole Red’s Battle of the Bands, the sisters gained a new perspective on fan relationships. “It really sunk in with us that the connections we build online are just as important as the connections we make at our shows,” Bianca says. Rather than chasing numbers, Diamond Dixie uses social media as a space for genuine connection. “Social media is a platform to share who you are with the world,” Bianca adds. “So why change who you are just because the numbers are getting bigger?” That authenticity naturally extends to brand partnerships that align with their real lives rather than overshadow the music.
Outside of music, the sisters stay grounded through individual passions. “When I’m not doing music, I love to make sourdough bread and work on my 1977 truck,” Bianca says. “When Gabriela isn’t doing music, she likes to work out and read books. We’re together 24/7, so having our own little hobbies allows us to find our own passions outside of music.”
​
Now entering 2026 with clarity, momentum, and creative freedom, Diamond Dixie stands at the beginning of a defining era — one built on confidence, resilience, and songs shaped by real life. Their sisterhood isn’t just the foundation of their sound; it’s the driving force behind everything they do.
