Xoel Diamante on SoundBetter

Industry experienced songwriter and session musician delivering memorable melodies, strong lyrics, and professional recordings. I offer songwriting, topline and lyric writing, and session work on vocals, guitar, and keys. Whether you need a song from scratch or the missing piece for your track, I’ll deliver with creativity and precision.

With over 15 years of experience as a guitarist, pianist, vocalist, and songwriter, my passion for pop, indie, rock, singer-songwriter, soul, and funk shines through in every song I write and every melodic and arrangement choice I make. I always aspire to the highest standard of songwriting, aiming to connect with people on an emotional level that only music can reach.

Having studied guitar and piano from a young age, sung for as long as I can remember, and earned a BA in Music Production, I am able to oversee every step of making a great song, from the first spark of imagination to shaping it into a high-quality recording.

Alongside offering my services online, I am the guitarist, vocalist, and co-writer for Analog Society, a London-based Timeless Pop band with over half a million followers across social media. Our originals and mashups have led us to open for the Black Eyed Peas and to sign with Dennis Dunstan, former manager of Fleetwood Mac.

Interview with Xoel Diamante

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My band's first album, still on the works! It's a collective work where we learnt to put aside our egos and strong opinions, and focused on writing the best songs possible. We recently finished recording, and on top of co-writing music and lyrics for most songs, I have recorded vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards, piano, and ukelele.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: On top of our debut album, my band is preparing for a 7-show run in Paris in January, and a possible UK tour in December.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. I started playing electric guitar when I was 11 (20 years ago!) and soon after picked up the keys and piano. In 2018, I moved to London to pursue a career in music, and I’m still here! My main focus now is my band, Analog Society, where I co-write, sing lead and backing vocals, and play electric guitar.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Raw and emotional, deeply musical.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: With Paul McCartney, as he has written some of the best songs in music history, and has always put musicality and message over everything else.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don’t overproduce before the song works acoustically. If a melody and lyric connect with just a voice and one instrument, the production will only make it stronger.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop, rock, indie rock, and singer-songwriter — styles where musicality and storytelling meet. I enjoy blending organic instruments with modern production.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Melody and lyrics writing, and song arrangement. I’m good at capturing emotion in a simple, memorable way that feels both fresh and familiar.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A strong sense of melody, emotion, and structure. I focus on making every section connect naturally and keeping the listener engaged, whether that means tightening a lyric, reshaping a chorus, or adding that one melodic hook that makes the song stick.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: It starts with a clear conversation about the client’s vision and references. I’ll sketch out ideas for lyrics, melodies, or instrumental parts, and share previews early so we can align creatively. Once the direction feels right, I refine and record final takes, ensuring the end result sounds polished and emotionally true to the original idea.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work from a treated home studio equipped with professional-grade microphones, interfaces, and instruments. I record through a Focusrite interface into Ableton Live, using a mix of virtual instruments and real guitars, and keys to give every track a natural feel.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I tailor songs, lyrics, and melodies to each client’s vision. From pop to rock, folk, singer-songwriter, soul, or funk, I’ve done it all. I love diving into the themes and ideas my clients bring, crafting songs we can both be proud of, with top-tier songwriting and production quality.
