About
Diamond is a barber by trade, hailing from Cairns in the tropical Far North Queensland, Australia, though in his formative years he was a steady hand on the side, playing bass for artists across the state. He spends his days listening to country greats at the barber shop and recording his own songs in the hills inland from Cairns with his friend Mark Myers, who also plays in indie cult band The Middle East.
What began as a bedroom project putting together a loosely threaded collection of songs on the beauty of loving harder than you drink, quickly and beyond all expectations found a global audience. Alongside long-time partner and renowned artist Greta Stanley came the razor-sharp duet ‘Stay In Your Lane,’ invoking the acerbic back and forths between Johnny and June, Prine and Dement. The out of the blue success of “Stay In Your Lane” has found Diamond’s voice reaching far-flung corners and unexpected places. The demand for more is growing.
Sometimes all it takes is for lightning to strike a lucky tree. It doesn’t often strike twice, but Bronson Diamond is going to have a good crack at bottling it.
Greta Stanely is known for her jaw-dropping voice, emotional honesty, stylistic diversity and ability to translate difficult subject matter into rich pop songs, Greta Stanley has been on a rising trajectory over the past few years. Her formidable catalogue to date includes two EPs, two albums, several highly successful collabs (including current viral hit duet ‘Stay in Your Lane’ with partner Bronson Diamond) and a unique performance of Foo Fighters’ ‘Everlong’ for triple Jjs Like A Version. Leveraging her broad musical taste as a key strength, Greta’s distinctive songwriting style has traversed indie-pop, rock, electronica, folk and country. Along the way she has garnered millions of streams across multiple tracks, thousands of fans, numerous festival appearances, considerable radio airplay and many high-profile support slots.
Coming from a tiny town south of Innisfail in Far North Queensland, Greta’s music is infused with the regional experience. Greta has quietly emerged as a powerful force in the Australian scene. Her third album, a collaborative effort with producers Cheekbone and Cody McWaters (King Stingray, The Chats), has already produced sparkling singles such as “When You Call” and “Life of the Party”.
