The 29-year-old, Niagara Falls-born musician and songwriter puts his own singular touches and flourishes on what he called a “moody, dynamic, gritty, slightly dark” approach to alternative rock, with wide-ranging inspirations from Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, to Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys, and Mike Kerr of Royal Blood.

“I try to write every single day and I’m perpetually coming up with different ideas, melodies, rhythms and general concepts for each song,” he says. “Fame Cartel’s sound is dark, mysterious, luxurious and gritty – and my lyrics reflect that.” - Diodati

As Fame Cartel, Diodati has released three singles – I Feel You, Dance With the Devil, and Money Where Your Mouth Is - all of which are available on all streaming platforms – and he’s getting ready to drop the projects debut EP early in 2023.
