Introduce yourself & tell us what its like to be a teenager within the rock music scene.
I’m a 17 year old, singer, songwriter, and recording artist. DIAMANTE is my real first name. Trying to break and come out as a rock artist, a genre dominated by men, is definitely a challenge specially at my age. I feel like I need to work twice as hard to get through the door, but it only makes me more determined to keep doing what I love.
You recently released your new single entitled “BITE YOUR KISS” which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales Charts, What is the meaning behind that song title?
The song is free spirited, sexy, fun and a little shocking, but more deeply I knew I would rattle many by throwing out the double standard. I’m pretty sure if a guy was singing the same words there would have been nothing shocking about it.
You released 3 singles so far in your music career, all of which are absolutely amazing. When can we expect to see an album from you, anything in the works?
Thanks! Yes! I am currently working on it. I can’t say yet if it will be a multi-track EP or a full length album. Three new songs are already completed, and we are starting the fourth one next week. I am loving every minute of it, everything is flowing amazing! We don’t have a release day set yet.
