Comment:	Ron Diller & Steve Anderson met in August of 1975 while attending a Youth for Christ staff retreat on the Oregon coast. The next week Ron invited Steve to join a band he was in called, "Radiance." For the next five years Radiance played churches & youth events around Oregon. Highlights of the Radiance years included opening for Anita Bryant, appearing at Jesus Northwest, and recording one album. Little by little Ron & Steve began writing songs together and doing side gigs as an acoustic duo. Diller & Anderson was officially born in 1980 when Steve & Ron left Radiance to go it alone! Over the next several years the duo began to make a name for themselves throughout the northwest playing churches, youth camps & coffee houses. During this time they recorded their debut album entitled, "Diller & Anderson." While in the recording studio Ron & Steve met a keyboard player and a high school senior named Blair Masters. Blair had been recruited by the studio owner to play piano on a couple tracks. During that time a friendship and a musical bond began to form between Ron, Steve & Blair. In '85 D & A returned to the recording studio and began laying tracks for their second album entitled "Aggressive!" again joined by Blair Masters. Sometime in 1985 Steve & Ron were contacted by Free Rain records, an independent Christian record label based out of Northstar Recording studio in Portland, OR At this point things began to pick up speed. The guys went into Northstar & re-recorded many of the tracks on the Aggressive album often joined on Drums by Brian David Willis, former drummer for the band, "Quarterflash." Soon thereafter Free Rain landed a distribution deal with Regency Records out of Los Angeles which resulted in international distribution of the Aggressive LP. At the same time, live ministry opportunities for The Diller & Anderson Band began to flood in resulting in a decision to go full time with their ministry.
