However, my name is Diamonte Giacovelli — which literally translates to “diamond” in Italian.

I grew up in a small city in Central New York called Utica. As a kid, I had only two career paths in mind: the next coming of Michael Jackson… or an ice cream parlor employee. No in-between. Clearly, neither panned out, which explains why you ended up here reading this.

I’ve always loved making people smile and leaving things better than I found them. Words became my favorite way to do that because I genuinely love connecting with people. When I care about something, I give it 120%.

Need proof? I’m in the top 1% of Candy Crush players — currently on level 8,386 to be exact.

I’m a diehard 49ers fan — the kind who has absolutely watched games through random TikTok Lives. Allegedly.

I’m big on R&B — especially Brent Faiyaz, who’s been my #1 Spotify artist for eight years straight. (Yes, I’m currently listening to him while writing this.)

If I were a food, I’d be a cannoli — mostly Italian, with chocolate chips representing my Black side. A little sweet. A little stubborn, according to my mom.

If that doesn’t tell you who you’re dealing with as a copywriter, no worries.
