Mr. Diamond’s History in Music Industry
When he was still a child, music was everywhere around him. His father was a musician as well and he was the lead singer of a synthpop band. Because of that, he grew up listening to the 80’s synthpop, 90’s Electro, and 00′ Trance music.
Of course, the influence of our parents on our career path usually is huge. However, Mr. Diamond realized that he possesses enough talents to start his journey independently from his father. Because of that, when he was only 13, he started playing the guitar. In that period, he was a huge fan of some alternative/indie bands such as Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, etc.
Fortunately, he didn’t stop there because some other instruments seemed interesting to him as well. He started to learn alone how to play the bass, keys, and flute. In the meantime, he was the member (singer) of a rock band for around 2 years.
The journey in the Electronic Dance Music industry started in 2013. Logically, when a musician decides on his move, his primary goal is to experiment with things. Mr. Diamond was experimenting with everything between techno and house. After years of hard work, he managed to release the first song in 2019 under the name “It’s That” together with his friend.

The Sources of Inspiration and Role Models
Every musician in the world has a role model that serves as an inspiration for hard work. Mr. Diamond’s major inspiration comes in the “form” of Steve Vai. When we talk about classic house legends, individuals like Larry Heard aka Mr.Fingers, and Daft Punk are his role models. On the DJ Side, Jamie Jones is a person that impressed Mr.Diamond to start working even harder on his goals. In the end, Contemporary records labels like Fuse London, No Art, and PIV are his major influence at the moment.
All these names can tell you a lot about the goals and style of the young musician. If his role models are your favorite musicians, then his music will probably meet your expectations.
Achievements and Goals
Achievements and GoalsIndeed, the musician is still young, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t manage to achieve certain things. As we said, in 2019 he made his first debut together with Christhian Balcazar on the Latin tech-house label (1994 Music). The label is run by Harvy Valencia. The next achievement was releasing songs on the Chilean old school DJ PP label. However, the rewards of his work do not stop there. He managed to release the single on the Mexican Label Drowplow as well.
The EP was also released on the King Street Sounds from NY and the Spanish powerhouse label Roush, run by Hector Couto. In the end, the ep was released as well on the well-known Material Series. People that participate in the music industry understand very well how these achievements are valuable.
As we said, 2024 is a year when the work of musicians is a bit limited. Yet, it seems that Mr.Diamond used this period to achieve some of his goals. For the first time, he released his first solo EP on two UK labels – Starting 2024 Modula, Rendr. Still, the UK market is not the only place where he wants to share his music. Because of that, he decided on releasing another EP on the Italian Label Sura Music. Fortunately, he accomplished the plan that he decided on.
This month, he released a track under the name “Pressure” on the UK Deep Tech Label Inermu. The audience had the opportunity to hear the song at Thusishaven in the Netherlands last year for the first time. Since then, the majority of his fans were asking him to release the song.
In the end, we need to highlight the reward that he got two months ago. The Fuse London Resident Seb Zito ran a remix competition to one of his tracks under the name “Isolation”. Mr.Diamond was one of the two winners among thousands of them. When respected producers reward you for hard work, that means you truly are a talented person, right? You can find the track on Spotify, and for a couple of days, it will be available on Beatport.
Definition of His Work
In short terms, his goal is to produce the best electronic dance since day one. The moto he uses while working is “Music needs to evolve always”. Mr. Diamond never sticks to one formula or template. As we said, he listens to around 500 songs each week. By researching different genres, he tries to create music different from the trends and current sounds.
Plans for the Future
It seems that Mr. Diamond is always a step ahead of people from the same industry. Because of that, he managed to make plans for the next year. The single “Sad Day” will come out soon on the German Dance Label, XYZ Recordings, run by DJ Tapesh. Despite that, he has mutual plans with his friend Christhian Balcazar.
