Dia Frampton began her career as an alt-rocker, logging three summers on the Warped Tour and releasing several albums as part of Meg & Dia, a sister duo that also featured her older sister. In 2010, Dia Frampton began competing in The Voice, a prime-time singing competition in the vein of American Idol. Mentored by judge Blake Shelton, she became one of the season’s leading contestants and wound up finishing second, losing the crown to Javier Colon during the season finale. “Inventing Shadows,” a song she performed during the last episode, became her biggest single to date, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and rising to the top of the digital charts. ~ Andrew Leahey
