The Check-In with Nick Diamonds-Got The Devil-Islands-Unicorns-Mister Heavenly
Nick Diamonds is a singer, songwriter and producer based in Los Angeles. His newest single Got The Devil/The River (ft. Fat Tony, Yoni Wolf & Giovanni Marks) is due out November 9th via Fused Arrow Records and will be available both digitally and on 7”. Nick shares the inspiration behind the new record, how it has changed his process style and why it’s leading him to more of a producer role at this point in his career. He tells us why sample-based songwriting has become an addiction, how its forcing him to exercise his deductive muscle in the process and why supporting the vocals is his primary role on the new record. Nick explains the concept behind the resurrected single Do They Know Its Halloween? and why he gives all proceeds to the Save Lulu Life charity fund. Joe and Nick tell the story of their beloved bandmates Ryan Kattner’s basketball injury, they talk exercise routines, they share extremely personal things about their lives, and we sample a couple tunes.
