Mike Diamond
Location: Sacramento, CA
Meet Mike Diamond. Off stage, he is an up and coming promoter and designer with his hands in a little bit of everything from design to event coordinating to brand marketing. Most would describe him as a quiet guy with an inviting enigma that makes him stand out, and just enough vagueness about him to keep you wondering what is coming next. On stage and in the DJ booth, he is a well-known Sammie nominated energy charged DJ.
Mike Diamond got his start like any other aspiring dj playing in the quiet confines of his personal practice space. Growing up with the sounds of freestyle, disco, and house music, making the transition to djing came natural to him. Coming from a place where most consider the indie dance culture to be unseen, Mike Diamond had the heroic vision that most DJ’s have starting out. But while most DJ’s spend countless hours knocking on club doors and kissing up to promoters to get gigs, he thought outside the control of the club owners.
With a D.I.Y. attitude and an “I don’t give a damn” mentality in 2006, he took the party straight to the people and created what Sacramento calling gods gift to the indie dance culture. But he just called it “A Big Party”.
The idea was simple. Get a house, throw a big party, DJ as Diamondmonsterrr(R.I.P.), have a good time, and go home. He expected success, but what he didn’t expect was to see upwards of 500 people show up to one house or the word to spread as far as San Diego.
Overall, 2007 was a breakthrough year for Mike Diamond. With the success of “ABP” and a large wrap-sheet of events under his belt, he is very hard to miss. You can find him with his iPhone in hand premeditating moves in Midtown, L.A., San Francisco and soon internationally. But if you ask him, it was only a fraction of the plan he has for the future.
