Mike Diamond\, aka Mike D\, gre w up a precocious and highly opinionated young man on the island of Manhat tan. \;He spent his childhood thieving 7" records by the Jackson Five\ , The Beatles and various Motown artists from his older brothers while liv ing in the very liberal upper West Side - \; with the background of Ne w York City's fiscal crisis and all the turmoil and lawlessness that went with that. \; \;After finally saving up his own money to purchase Steve Miller's "Fly Like An Eagle" album\, Diamond started to learn to pla y the drums. \;

Soon after he discovered punk rock and it was g ame over. That was until he heard a rap mix tape and then it was game over again. Once discovering Reggae through the influence of punk bands like T he Clash and The Slits - it was game over a third time. \;

He w ent on to form Beastie Boys with Adam Yauch\, aka MCA\, in the early 80's. While inspired by hardcore punk\, the boys listened all the while to ever y new rap 12 inch that came out and eventually rapping themselves. They so on began merging their many influences in what would go on to become a mul ti-record\, multi-platinum and multi-decade career. \;

The band went on to win a bunch awards\, such as Grammys\, the highly acclaimed Bl ackshere Award\, a very spirited Brass Monkey Award and the key to Kansas City\, Missouri&hellip\; though this is still shrouded in a bit of mystery . \; \;In 2012 Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock N Roll Hal l of Fame.

Mike D\, MCA and Adrock oversaw all aspects of their art istic output from music production to co-authoring videos with esteemed di rectors like Spike Jonze and Nathaniel Hö\;rnblowé\;r\, to spend ing countless hours on their live visuals. \; \;

In the ear ly 90s\, Beastie Boys founded their own Grand Royal record label and magaz ine\, creating multiple outlets to turn their visual\, musical and literar y ideas and inspirations on full display.

Diamond continued to appl y this aesthetic (non) sense to home design\, online content and even cura ting a multi-week group showcase at LA MOCA called "Transmission LA- AV Cl ub". The show was centered around the relationship of visual art and music \, staged with Jeffrey Deitch. To bring this point home\, the show include d a full music program as well as food by pioneering chef\, Roy Choi.  \;

In 2018\, along with his bandmate\, Adam Horovitz\, Diamond co-a uthored Beastie Boys Book\, which told the story of the band in its own wo rds and reached #1 on The New York Times Best Seller list. A limited serie s of live shows\, in which the two brought stories from the book to life\, was captured in the 2020 film Beastie Boys Story\, directed by longtime c ollaborator and friend of the band Spike Jonze.
