Keep You Here, and we'll talk about that later on
this hour. Also, I want to throw it back to
Red White and Bryce. You just wrapped that up, and

going to throw it back to Sweeney nineteen too loose
my mind. That's the trick that Diamond did with Connects.
So Diamond's going to be here for the entire hour.
I can't wait to have you here.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Thanks, Maz, I can't wait to just mind about.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
To be a good afternoon now, Diamond c C you
were and the theater adaptation for Reid White and Brace
She's Gang mc day bay. But how what it has
been taking this movie onto the stage.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It was so much fun, but there was a lot
of discipline that went into that production. It was my
first theater show and working was such incredible talented cast,
and I know some of them are so seasoned in theater,
so there was a bit of pressure. But for me,
one of my strengths is that I don't procrastinate, so
(02:35):
I learned the script really early before getting into the
rehearsal space. Okay, so having my lines down, all I
had to worry about was just getting directional notes.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So yeah, but I know if I wasn't.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Prepared on that aspect, I feel like I would be
a little bit hesitant.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
But it was so much fun. Big shout out to
everyone that was a part of.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It, the directors, the writers, the cast, you know, the
behind the scenes.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
We all gell and worked together really well. So yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Came out seamlessly, and so many people turned out to
watch you guys at the ASP Waterfront Theater, a quite
prestigious theater. It's in the heart of Auckland City and
it's a big name venue. How did it feel to
see those people in the crowd watching the story unfold?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It was very mafuner, you know, especially like having more
of our stories being told on that theater. And I
just can't wait for more stories and more of our
people to be on that stage in take up space.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
So I'm super excited. Yeah, would you.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Love to do more theater work on the future?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Absolutely? I loved it.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It was after Red White and Brass that I felt
like I was missing that. I was like, I wish
I did theater earlier, but it's just one of those things,
you know. I feel like at that time when Red,
White and Brass came about, it was just that perfect
moment for me, and maybe I wasn't ready for it earlier.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So yeah, how was your first foray into acting? So
were you acting for Green first? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So I was predominantly screened.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
My first work was in that space, and yeah, when
I got the opportunity for theater, I.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Was like, Okay, I was shot.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I was nervous because you know, like there's so many
others out there who've been doing it for years.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So I was like, and it's live. Yeah, yeah, what
you put on stage, girl, you can't be edited out,
no photo shop, no face shoot.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Girl, there's no color white.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
It was like, yeah, have that one shot, one shot
and one shot only.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh hey Diamond, Hey Mass Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So let's get into the music before we play out
your debut single, keep You Here. Let's run back to
Sweeny nineteen. Teamed up with Ciniques for this one. It's
got to Lose My Mind? You game, there have been
your last bit of music that you put out?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yes, that was the last song that I did.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Wow, how did that come to be Loose my mind?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Lose my Mind came about because my brother introduced me
to Connects. Okay, He's like, he's so funny. He's like, yeah,
I want you to get into the studio do some recording.
We ended up doing that song, you know, like just
having fun with it, and then that's how the song
came about. So big shout out to my brother's stand
for connecting Connects and I and.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah it was all for that gottas.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, Yeah, it's that simple. You w went into the studio,
you laid down your vocals and then you came out
with this beautiful song that people still play out today.
How did you get into music initially?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You know what's so interesting? Music was actually my first
thing that I ever did. Ah out of everything, out
of everything. So I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah,
and those who know me knew that me and my
father were performing all the church events, birthdays, different functions.
It was not until I came to New Zealand that
you know, fashion and modeling, you know, took its toll.
(05:54):
But music has always been there and I've been writing
ever since I was like six.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Wow, So it's.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Really so much a part of me. So I felt
like this year, more than ever, I felt like I
was really missing it and I was like, I need
to get back into it and life is too short.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
So yeah, it has been five years when you first
stepped into the studio to record Keep You Here. What
were the emotions that you're going through?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Keep You Here's a very personal song for me and
getting my musical talents for my father and he, you know,
he taught me everything that I know in terms of
like writing, getting my pen game strong. I wrote this
song a year and a half ago, being in and
out of hospital while my dad was battling cancer. And
I very much like him in terms of can't really
(06:40):
express myself. You know, if I were a cry id
will cry in the bathroom and come back and just
act like everything was okay.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
And I know my dad did the same.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He would cry when my mom would go to sleep
at the hospital or when I wasn't there. So we
had our own moments like letting things out, and for me,
this was my letting go of my died battling cancer
with my love letter to him, wishing that I could
keep him here on earth, and so I would just
write it, I'll go to the hospital and then like
(07:09):
get inspiration from there and then come back home get
inspiration from being by myself at home.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And it was just like.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Very like a therapy moment for me, because like I
was holding so many things in and I couldn't really
express myself to many people at that time, and so
that's how the song came about. And for me, I
have a whole collection of song ready to go oh damn,
but it was just one of those like, Okay, I'm
coming back after five years and this would be my first.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Single, so it has to have meaning to it to day.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
It has to have meaning.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And I just didn't want to release like, Okay, I'll
put out a banger for me. I was like, I
want a song that is an introduction for me coming
back into music, being my first single, and it has
to have something that is an inspiration from my past
but now move moving forward.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And I was like, the perfect song would be.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Keep You Here and also a dedication to remember my
dad and everything that he taught me so oh so well.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
See Diamond Lungies do song keep You Here. It's a
baby single out Friday. I've got a stick pick to
play to you after guests co host Diamond Lungey. She
is an actress, beauty queen and musician. She's in the
Fuddy with her single keep You Here. It's out Friday.
Have her listened to this?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Lem me Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
We were chatting earlier on in the show, Diamond about
the meaning of the song. It's a love letter to
your father and the journey that he went to with
regards to his health. When you finished the song and
played it out to your family, what were the feels
the emotions.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
My mom got really emotional, and you know, it was
a moment we both had and she's like, I feel
like you're ready, you know because even when I just
for the gatas did the other songs, Yeah, it was
just for fun and play. But then you know, this
song is really serious in terms of like emotion, and
it shows another side that a lot of people haven't
(09:18):
seen with me.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So yeah, it's a lot of like vulnerability, so.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Much truth in it, and it felt like it was
the perfect song to release. I wanted people to see
me form me and you know, not hide behind a facades.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So it almost signals a new season for you. You're
coming back into the music industry with your debut single.
Do you think what do you think your dad is
thinking of this move and the moves that you're making
as of current.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I am pretty sure he's in heaven saying finally.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I'm just like what we said, I've.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Just been asking for how many years?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh, that's beautiful. For anyone that's going through similar things
and they want to keep their loved ones here, what
is your advice to them.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Spend as much time.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You know, we can get really distracted with life and
you can get pulled in so many directions, But I
feel like what's more important is the foundation and what
brought you up. You are who you are because of
your loved ones, and never forget that, you know, spend
that time with them.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Also learn about their life and life still also teach
you about things that you could connect with, like maybe if.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
It's not them, like their ancestors, So find out how
their childhood was in their teens and yeah, learn more
about them.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And I would say documentary as well, record anything everything, girl,
even if you look tragic, it's about them. It's not
about you, Okay, Canny, you are a model, you're an actress, here,
a beauty queen, you're a musician, all the things, all
the things. But what's nixt for you, sirs? You know?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
As a touch based on just to have fun, yeah,
you know, and keep releasing music, but a lot to say,
like my music like in theater, like film, Like I'm
really interested in that world and connecting and intertwining those
two things.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
So yeah, what else is on the way for Diamond
Lungey directing? Oh yeah, so keep You Here?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I co directed Big Shout out to brokem Films. We
both directed Keep You Here and I did the production
for as well too. I wanted to just step into it,
you know, as a touch based on.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Life is too short.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, And I feel like in terms of creativity and
performing arts, everything gels together, so why not learn different
hats and like, you know, experiencing it.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
So I'm just yeah, exactly, And I feel like we
need more women in that space, say, directing, producing, getting
in touch with all the behind the scenes things. Hey, Diamond,
before I let you go, I had seen that. Yesterday
they announced the consistence for massa More, the massam More
pageant that's going down, And what are your thoughts on
that as a as a beauty queen. You've been on
(11:59):
pageants before you and they'd done that.
Speaker 3 (12:01):

Speaker 2 (12:02):

heavy and strong.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yes, there's some like.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Great yes, and then like each and every one of them.
Some of them I've seen their journeys, you know, being
crowned here and like or I've seen some of their
work that they've done, and I feel like this year
is going to be a hard competition because the whole
fifteen of them is queens.
Speaker 1 (12:25):

the miss someone. Contestants are always strong, They're powerful, they
bring that like Queen stat Is. So I'm so excited

Fuddy with her single keep You Here. It's out Friday.
Have her listened to this?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Lem me Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
We were chatting earlier on in the show, Diamond about
the meaning of the song. It's a love letter to
your father and the journey that he went to with
regards to his health. When you finished the song and
played it out to your family, what were the feels
the emotions.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
My mom got really emotional, and you know, it was
a moment we both had and she's like, I feel
like you're ready, you know because even when I just
for the gatas did the other songs, Yeah, it was
just for fun and play. But then you know, this
song is really serious in terms of like emotion, and
it shows another side that a lot of people haven't
(09:18):
seen with me.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So yeah, it's a lot of like vulnerability, so.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Much truth in it, and it felt like it was
the perfect song to release. I wanted people to see
me form me and you know, not hide behind a facades.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So it almost signals a new season for you. You're
coming back into the music industry with your debut single.
Do you think what do you think your dad is
thinking of this move and the moves that you're making
as of current.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I am pretty sure he's in heaven saying finally.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I'm just like what we said, I've.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Just been asking for how many years?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh, that's beautiful. For anyone that's going through similar things
and they want to keep their loved ones here, what
is your advice to them.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Spend as much time.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You know, we can get really distracted with life and
you can get pulled in so many directions, But I
feel like what's more important is the foundation and what
brought you up. You are who you are because of
your loved ones, and never forget that, you know, spend
that time with them.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Also learn about their life and life still also teach
you about things that you could connect with, like maybe if.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
It's not them, like their ancestors, So find out how
their childhood was in their teens and yeah, learn more
about them.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And I would say documentary as well, record anything everything, girl,
even if you look tragic, it's about them. It's not
about you, Okay, Canny, you are a model, you're an actress, here,
a beauty queen, you're a musician, all the things, all
the things. But what's nixt for you, sirs? You know?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
As a touch based on just to have fun, yeah,
you know, and keep releasing music, but a lot to say,
like my music like in theater, like film, Like I'm
really interested in that world and connecting and intertwining those
two things.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
So yeah, what else is on the way for Diamond
Lungey directing? Oh yeah, so keep You Here?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I co directed Big Shout out to brokem Films. We
both directed Keep You Here and I did the production
for as well too. I wanted to just step into it,
you know, as a touch based on.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Life is too short.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, And I feel like in terms of creativity and
performing arts, everything gels together, so why not learn different
hats and like, you know, experiencing it.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
So I'm just yeah, exactly, And I feel like we
need more women in that space, say, directing, producing, getting
in touch with all the behind the scenes things. Hey, Diamond,
before I let you go, I had seen that. Yesterday
they announced the consistence for massa More, the massam More
pageant that's going down, And what are your thoughts on
that as a as a beauty queen. You've been on

pageants before you and they'd done that.

heavy and strong.

Some of them I've seen their journeys, you know, being
crowned here and like or I've seen some of their
work that they've done, and I feel like this year

fifteen of them is queens.
