Michael Diamond Biography

Michael Louis Diamond co-founded the band The Young Aborigines. In 1981 Adam Yauch aka MCA a friend and follower of the band became their bass player and on the suggestion of their then-guitar player John Berry the band changed their name to the Beastie Boys. By 1983 Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) joined and their sound began to shift away from punk to hip hop. In 1992 Diamond founded the Beastie Boys' now-defunct record label Grand Royal Records. He is also interested in interior decoration and designed Brooklyn-themed toile wallpaper; it was used in the renovation of the Marquee nightclub in Chelsea which reopened in January 2013. A year after the death of Yauch in 2012 Diamond told Rolling Stone he was excited about making new stuff again and released Humberto Vs the New Reactionaries (Christine and the Queens Remix) in July 2013. A remix of Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band's Bad Dancer by Diamond and Adam Horovitz was streamed online in August 2013. The pair is credited with additional beats programming and other curve balls.
