Diana van Berlo is a Dutchpopfemale singer. She was a member of the girl group Luv' from 1989 to 1992. She scored with the female formation a Dutch and Flemish Top 30hit with the single "Welcome to my Party" as well as another minor hit song "He's My Guy". After Luv' had disbanded in 1992, she formed with Carina Lemoine the short-lived girl duo Lady's D.C. In recent years, she has been a backing singer and has sung in dinner shows.
In late 1988 there were speculations about a reunion of Luv's original line-up. The British hitmakers Stock Aitken Waterman were planned to produce a comeback record. However, this project didn't come off. Moreover, Patty and José didn't want to be part of the trio anymore. Marga was the only member to carry on. Assisted by her partner, she recruited two girls to launch a renewed version of the group: Michelle Gold and Diana van Berlo. The new Luv' act recorded an EP entitled For You mainly supervised by English producer Nigel Wright. The dance-pop songs on this recording were inspired by the sound ofPWL. Four tracks were taken from the EP to be released as singles. Diana's first live show with Luv' took place in a discothèque in Hilversum with special guests on September 10, 1989. Soon after, Diana and her colleagues were involved with other Dutch girl groups in the All Stars project to help Third World children with the single "Star Maker". In 1991, the albumSincerely Yours was released but didn't top the charts at all. Though the new formation wasn't as successful as the original one, the trio extensively toured the club circuit and often performed on TV. Their busy schedule included a special performance in Dubai to support the Dutch troops during the Gulf War. In late 1992, Luv' disbanded.
