Diamond Rings Details
O'Regan got his start in music as one of the founding members of post-punk quartet The D'Urbervilles,[1] where he was known as John O alongside Tim Bruton, Kyle Donnelly and Greg Santilly. He also formed the Casio-pop duo Habitat[2] in 2006 with his partner at the time, Sylvie Smith of The Barmitzvah Brothers.
O'Regan began writing Diamond Rings songs in the summer of 2008 after graduating with a degree in Studio Arts from the University of Guelph. The inception of the new moniker and his earliest songs were written during a lengthy hospital stay while being diagnosed and treated for Crohn's disease.[3]
According to O'Regan, the roots of Diamond Rings came from wanting to challenge people's expectations for a male pop star: “I wanted to do something that would unsettle not only me, but the audience too... I spent my whole life up to that point as an artist playing relatively nondescript indie rock. But I felt there was a part of me that really needed to get out. I wanted to express myself in ways that were beyond just musical—something that was dramatic and flamboyant and beyond myself in a way. And that became Diamond Rings.”[4]
