She is that rare species: a newborn diva who arrives fully formed, with stunning voice and looks to match. Even more surprising her debut album boasts immaculate production and a legendary guest star. This hardly ever happens in the fast-track age of Idol-manufactured pop stars. But Canadian Naomi Striemer is the real deal. A songbird who actually writes about what she sings, and sings it with passion and conviction. The former Maritime farm girl penned all but three of the 17 songs on 'Images', an album destined to make the 24-year-old newcomer an overnight sensation. Already she's being called the next Celine Dion.... Striemer makes a startling debut, serving notice to Carey, Houston, and yes Dion that their successor is now here - all the way from Tatamagouche, N,S. - by Nicholas Jennings - Hello! Magazine
"Remember the first time you heard Whitney, Mariah or Celine and recognized a star was born? Naomi Striemer will - must - propel beyond her foray at AC and become the next commanding diva of the decade. This Canadian beauty possesses so many novel trais - exalting vocals, destinctive phrasing, masterful songwriting - that 10 notes into heartbreaking first single 'Cars' stares will aim towards speakers. Grammy award winning contributors Carlos Santana (guitar) and Narada Michael Walden are convinced. The years most promising melodic debut. A standing ovation of an endoresement" - Chuck Taylor - Billboard Magazine

Bio
Naomi Striemer was born in upstate New York and grew up, home-schooled on a farm in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Signing her first major record deal with Epic/Sony at 18 years old Naomi has travelled the world writing and recording music ever since with some of the most highly critically acclaimed and commercially successful writers and producers in the music business; including Narada Michael Walden (Whitney, Mariah, Aretha), Mario Winans (Puff Daddy, Beyonce), Marius DeVries (Bjork, Madonna) Peter Zizzo (Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Jennifer Lopez) and American Idol’s Randy Jackson.
She has recorded a #1 single with guitar legend Carlos Santana on her self written single ‘Cars’, that topped charts in Canada, as well as being hailed the ‘melodic debut of the year’ by Billboard Magazine, who also called her the ‘diva of the decade’.
Naomi crossed over from Mainstream pop/rock music to pursue Christian Contemporary music after having an encounter with a man in Sean ‘Puff Daddy’ Comb’s studio who she describes as her ‘angel’.
Since making the switch Naomi has been nominated for numerous Christian music awards and had chart topping radio success in the CCM market. She is currently a highly sought after speaker, co-authoring an upcoming book on her life and experiences and is working on her album.
