She records under the name of DiCa, and along with her band, Diane Camenzuli has released a Christmas song with a difference.

Titled Milied Iswed, the song was written last year by Camenzuli, Simon Bonello and Justin Borg, and showcased during the Rock, Metal and Soul Go Acoustic event that was held during the Christmas on Campus in 2011.

The song, as the title indicates all too clearly, reflects the other side of the festive spirit; a theme inspired by the singer’s personal experiences of working with patients in hospital and the emotional suffering they endure on top of the physical problems they face on a daily basis.

Milied Iswed is not quite representative of the band’s musical style, but they felt strongly enough about it to release it publicly as a show of empathy with those people for whom Christmas is not necessarily a merry occasion.
