DIAMANTE

Fronted by Diamante Bovelli, DIAMANTE unleashes bold, chorus-heavy hard rock. Early singles appeared in 2013, and the act first reached the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart in May 2018 via a guest turn on the Bad Wolves track “Hear Me Now.” Their opening full-length, Coming in Hot, arrived the following month and registered on the Heatseekers Albums chart.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Bovelli discovered a passion for the stage after securing the lead in a school production. She had already settled in Los Angeles when she started presenting original material at age 15. Determined to restore hard rock to mainstream radio, she and her bandmates joined Diamond Certified Records a few years later. That imprint issued the initial DIAMANTE releases, among them 2013’s “Goodbye” and 2014’s “Bite Your Kiss,” which opened at number three on Billboard’s Hot Singles Sales chart. The latter track later appeared on the 2015 debut EP Dirty Blonde, after which the group switched to Better Noise Records.

The band resurfaced in 2017 with “Coming in Hot,” the first single from their initial album. Their most significant advance arrived via a featured role on the DIAMANTE single “Hear Me Now.” Issued in April 2018, the song accumulated more than ten million streams in a matter of weeks and climbed into the Top 40 of the Hot Rock Songs chart that May. The aptly titled Coming in Hot followed in June 2018. Produced by Howard Benson (3 Doors Down, Seether), the set entered the Heatseekers chart at number 12.
