Dia Frampton is an American singer-songwriter and was the lead singer of the band, Meg & Dia. She was the runner-up in the inaugural season of The Voice. Dia Frampton was a contestant (and eventual runner-up) on the first season of The Voice on NBC, introduced as a children's story author. Frampton stated that she had originally joined the show only with the intention of promoting Cocoon and had not expected that she would make it that far in the competition.

She was selected to be on the team of Coach Blake Shelton, who stated, "When I heard your voice, I started to smile." Frampton advanced through the show's quarter-finals and semi-finales after renditions of "Heartless" and "Losing My Religion". In the season finale, she sang "Inventing Shadows", an original song written by Fraser T Smith. Notably, the aforementioned singles were the highest charting iTunes digital songs by any contestant on The Voice during its respective voting eligibility period, with "Inventing Shadows" topping the charts at No. 1. Following the season finale on June 29, 2011, "Inventing Shadows" debuted at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 137,000 downloads sold. As of July 7, 2011 Frampton's The Voice digital releases have sold 480,000 downloads. Frampton subsequently won the title of Entertainment Weekly's 2011 'Favourite Reality Show Personality' over Michael Stagliano from the second season of Bachelor Pad. Frampton's single, "The Broken Ones," was released on November 15, 2011, and her solo album, Red, was released on December 6, 2011. Frampton wrote (or co-wrote) every song on Red. Notable co-written songs include "Billy the Kid", which she wrote with Mark Foster and Isom Innis, lead singer and keyboard player for Foster the People respectively, "Hearts out to Dry," which she wrote with her sister, Meg, and "Bullseye," which she wrote with Isabella Summers, the keyboard player for Florence and the Machine.

She was the opening act for her coach, Blake Shelton, on his Well Lit & Ampified tour. Shelton insisted that she had earned her spot on his tour and he was not doing her any favors. She later was a supporting act for The Fray in their sold out US tour in the Midwest and the West Coast from April to May 2011. Her own solo US tour took place from February to July 2012, with Canadian singer/songwriter Andrew Allen as her opening act.
