While in London she discovered the magical melodies of the Hammered Dulcimer and set about the task of teaching herself to play this wonderful instrument.
“As a recording artist my musical inspiration was initially solely rhythmic based. Now I have found the Hammered Dulcimer I can introduce melody into my rhythmic world.
I believe it is my purpose to introduce the Hammered Dulcimer and Bass Hammered Dulcimer into dance, pop & rock music, not merely as chill-out instruments but as a funky 46 stringed electric guitar backed by a 17 stringed electric bass.” Dizzi D
Dizzi returned to Frome to set up her own record company Ezelove Records.
