With a residency at the well-known mega club chain Privilege in Brazil and one of the most globally touring female DJs in the U.S., DJ Diamond is bringing forth club-banging masterworks. Don’t let her looks fool you – she is no Paris Hilton. The beautiful Hawaiian-native Diamond has been DJing for 11 years now, having been featured in Playboy, Maxim, Esquire, DJ Mag and more. She is also featured regularly as a guest DJ on Sirius/XM’s global satellite Channel Area on the “Porterhouse Show” among others. DJ Diamond continues to play at world famous clubs Pacha and Ministry of Sound.

After two days, her MASSIVE track is currently #13 in the top 100-electro releases on Beatport, released on Pyramid Recordings. It has achieved support from Laidback Luke, Dave Aude, and many others.

Pace yourself when you listen to the MASSIVE release “Holding My Heart Out,” – a collaboration with Krista Richards. The tracks undeniably flawless combination of infatuating vocals and upbeat electro drops fabricates a perfect song that no listener cannot help but sing along to. It is nothing short of a work of genius with the help of Jason Risk on the remix. Although Krista Richards’s whimsical vocals alone make the hair on my arms rise, Jason Risk’s uses her vocals in perfect unison.
