Biography
About
From a garage in Decatur to sold-out rooms across nineteen countries.
Diamondpssp writes songs the way a director blocks a scene — light first, then movement, then the line that stays with you. Raised between church choirs and late-night car radio, he taught himself to record on a borrowed interface and never really stopped.
His work sits at the intersection of soul, cinematic rap and the widescreen pop of the early 2000s. Influences run from Marvin Gaye and Sade to Kanye West's orchestral period and the film scores of Jóhann Jóhannsson.
Obsidian Bloom, his debut album, was written over twelve nights between Atlanta and Paris and recorded largely live to tape. It arrives March 14, 2026.
