Diamante Blackmon, better known by his stage name DJ Carnage, or sometimes simply Carnage, is an American Trap and House DJ and producer from Los Angeles.
Carnage fell in love with electronic dance music during his high school days, during which time he was a fan of the likes of Dutch maestros Headhunterz, and Alpha Twins. A trip to the Electric Daisy festival, an event that showcases a variety of electronic music, from dubstep to electro, confirmed his desire to start creating trap and house beats.
After learning his craft in his bedroom, Carnage had his first big break in 2012, when his trap remix of the club classic, “Spaceman” by Hardwell, became one of the most played tracks at festivals that summer. He then went on to prove he wasn’t going to be a one hit wonder when one of his beats was used on the collaborative party anthem “Big Spender”, which was recorded by rappers and fashionistas, A$AP Rocky and Theophilous London. He then decided to produce for more underground rappers G-Eazy, and Fool’s Gold artist Katie Got Bandz.
In 2013, Carnage embarked on a massive tour of the US, entitled the “6 Rings Tour”, in homage to the basketballer Michael Jordan. He has also played at various electronic music festivals internationally. Recently, Carnage collaborated with brash dubstep producer Borgore for the track “Incredible”
Outside of his production, he currently has a radio show on Sirius XFM and is a strong advocate of Mexican fast food, with his vocal support for chain Chipotle, leading to him gaining free burritos for life. In late 2013, Carnage was featured on the cover of “DJ Times”. Carnage has stated that if he hadn’t found music, he would have tried to begin a career as a Tornado Chaser.
