We had the good fortune of connecting with Diamond Love and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Diamond, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
To having something of my own . To be proud of myself for something that is mine built from my hard work and dedication.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I enjoy creating hip hop / Rap music. I’ve been creating music for about 8years now. My style of music gives a west coast vibe. What sets me apart from other artists, I would say is my style of flow. You know , my own sound . I believe what makes a great artist is an authentic artist. There’s to me cookie cutters out here and I sure don’t rock that way. What I’m most proud of is how far I’ve come. I grew up believing that dreams don’t come true and I have to work a 9-5 to survive. I took a chance and with that I a was able to travel to different cities. See places I’ve never seen before. It was exciting performing on different stages. Even if it was at a bar. Performing and music is one of the best highs . I met Kris Greer back in 2015 through friends and family. He heard I rap. one day approach me and said let me hear something. So, I drop some bars for him. He liked my style and asked if I would like to be apart of his label. I said, He’ll yes! . Till this day! I rep product of the people music . He took a chance on me and showed me the ropes. I succeeded in my career because of him in my hard work. It wasn’t easy and till this day I have my ups and downs. I trust in god and I know I’m going to be good. The lessons I’ve learned along the way is be careful who you work with. Not everyone is there in your best interest. I’m not just and independent rap artist. I also enjoy acting. I’ve starred on a independent film. I’ve done background work and I’ve also done voice overs. Music is my #1. I’m hoping this year will be the year I drop my 1st album! I’m happy with what I have so far and I hope my audience will enjoy it. My name is Diamond Love . Thank you for reading my story.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’ll definitely start at Venice Beach/ Santa Monica for some bomb Birria tacos over at Teddy Reds. walk the boardwalk then hit up 3rd street promenade for a little shopping. For the night life we hittin up my old hood Hollywood for a little sightseeing, drinking and partying!
