Early life

Diamandis grew up in a village in Oxfordshire and aspired to be a singer from an early age. Watching a documentary about Kurt Cobain titled at the age of 16 first inspired him to write songs.[2]

Career

At age 17, Diamandis made his first so-called "very bad rock song" that was played on local radio.[3]

Diamandis' first music release was the single "High 4 U" in November 2020. In 2022, his sound was compared to that of Rex Orange County "with a hint of R&B".[4] On 24 October 2023, Diamandis released the single "If U Think I'm Pretty" which went viral shortly after. By February 2024, the song reached the UK Singles Chart.[5] The single would also lead into the release of his mixtape Pretty. On 19 March 2024, he released the single "I Like the Way You Kiss Me" which reached number one in Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Germany, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Latvia and Lithuania, number three in the UK, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in various other countries including Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Norway.[6]
