Artemas Diamandis (born 23 September 1999), known mononymously as Artemas, is an English-Cypriot[1] Singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known for his singles "If U Think I'm Pretty" and "I Like the Way You Kiss Me".
Early life
Diamandis grew up in a village in Oxfordshire and aspired to be a singer from an early age. Watching a documentary about Kurt Cobain titled Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck at the age of 16 first inspired him to write songs.[2]
Career
At age 17 Artemas made his first so-called “very bad rock song” that was played on the local radio.[3]
Artemas first music release was the single "High 4 U" in November 2020. His sound was compared to that of Rex Orange County "with a hint of R&B" in 2022.[4] On 24 October 2023, Diamandis released the single "If U Think I'm Pretty" which went viral shortly after. By February 2024, the song reached the UK Singles Chart.[5] The single would also lead into the release of his mixtape Pretty. On 19 March 2024, he released the single "I Like the Way You Kiss Me". "I Like The Way You Kiss Me" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, topped the charts in Germany and Lithuania and peaked within the top ten of the charts in various countries, including Australia, Austria, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland and Norway.[6]
