Although allkpop is devoted to bringing you the best of Korean entertainment news, sometimes we can’t help but share up-and-coming talents that we think our readers will love. Meet Dia Frampton, a Hapa (half-Korean, half-white) American singer rapidly on the rise.

Originally from Utah and Las Vegas, the 24 year old graduated early in order to fully concentrate on her music career. Dia has been part of the rock band ‘Meg & Dia‘ with her sister Megan since 2003, with Dia taking on lead vocals and keyboard and Meg with vocals and rhythm guitar. (Listen to their cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” here!)

Dia Frampton has since gained national fame as a contestant of the first season of NBC’s ‘The Voice‘, advancing through the quarter-finals, semi-finals and season finale to claim the spot of runner-up. Her renditions of “Heartless”“Losing My Religion” and “Inventing Shadows” (the latter an original by Fraser T. Smith), were the highest charting digital songs on iTunes by a contestant during the voting period of the show, with “Inventing Shadows” even claiming the #1 spot on the charts.

After a successful run on the first season of NBC’s singing reality show ‘The Voice‘ last year, Dia Frampton released her single, “The Broken Ones”, and her first solo album, ‘Red’, to end 2011 with a bang.

Now, Dia Frampton has turned to k-pop to reveal her beautiful rendition of 2NE1‘s acoustic ballad,“Lonely”. The track’s emotional lyrics and subdued instrumental fused with Dia’s unique and stirring vocals certainly delivered an incredible performance that we’re excited to reveal to you all today. Without further delay, enjoy Dia’s beautiful cover of 2NE1′s “Lonely” below!

I didn't like her version of lonely.
She has a very cute personality but I don't like her voice at all, at least for this type of music. I'd like to hear her singing something a lil' more rock.

I doubt anyone would guess she has Korean blood if they didn't know. Then again I've seen it before with other Hapas.

hate this version but it's, ironically, the only time I ever liked her voice. call be back when you can cover it in the original korean.

I adore Meg & Dia! I'm not a big enough fan of 2NE1 to be terribly familiar with Lonely, but I quite liked this cover.

iirc there was a "scandal" cause she once uploaded a cover (for a competition) of 2NE1's lonely where people could actually see her singing, and some dudes started saying that she and her sisters are real singers in a band and that its not fair when she as a professional singer enters such a contest
she never said anything about this, she just left youtube and deleted her channel
i wish she would come back, her covers are flawfree ;____; her english cover of tonight and what should i do are my jams

oh, thanks for the explanation. that sucks that she was pressured to delete her channel like that :/ i loved all her 2NE1 covers.

Loling at some of the akp comments

"She's too old for kpop."

"Can she even speak Korean?"

Yah I highly doubt she's breaking her back trying to make it in the kpop industry when Blake Shelton's practically adopted her. And I can't believe I've been listening to meg and dia for like...6 years now. I usually get sick of bands fast.

Well, she is the runner up of The Voice and touring around the US with Blake, that's what all of the groups in Korean wish to do, tbh.

Javier has a super nice voice, but I still prefer Dia :) She has an unique sound <3 Fav of last year of The Voice :)

The thought of kpop idols listening to country music is hilarious hahaha.

I only watched the show because I found out she was gonna be on it but I did like Javier's voice. Too bad he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.

I though he's still singing.

I thought his album flopped and I haven't heard about him since. Even Adam seems to have forgotten abou him (not that he's obligated to help promote him ofc). I just felt like Dia benefited the most from
the voice.

Well, Blake adores Dia, and their voices go well together. Can't expect Javier is all gangsta and sexy-ish like Adam too. He has the prize, experience and everything. Unfortunately, having a talent and getting famous are two totally different things

She also did an amazing cover of "Nobody" by Wonder Girls.

Ive always been a fan of hers even before she got into the Voice and became a member of TEAM BLAKE (stanning everyone on that team tbh, FLAWFREE BLAKE SHELTON!! best coach imo!) i like Meg and Dia's 19 stars.. All time favorite! Flawless cover of Lonely! Woooooot! Get it DIA!!! :)

Little Dia in my Omona?!

Awww :) I liked her 'Nobody' cover better. I wish she'd attempt the Korean but I know her and Meg seriously don't speak it. Meg understands it but Dia not so much. I'm just glad she's been talking with her cousins & they've seemed to drag her into Kpop b/c I've always wondered how she wound sound singing some these songs. Now I know :D
