Artemas Diamandis (Greek: Αρτέμας Διαμαντής[1]; born 23 September 1999), known mononymously as Artemas, is an English singer, songwriter and record producer.[2] He is best known for his singles "If U Think I'm Pretty" and the viral "I Like the Way You Kiss Me".[3] He is signed to the record label 10K Projects.

Early life

Born on 23 September 1999, Artemas grew up in a village in Oxfordshire, England, and is of Greek Cypriot descent from his father's side.[4][5] He got piano lessons aged six and developed an interest in singing.[6] He was educated at Radley College.[7] Watching a documentary about Kurt Cobain titled Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck inspired him to begin writing songs at the age of 16.[8][6] Artemas taught himself to play instruments and produce, and began experimenting with music styles.[4] He moved to London to further his music career.[9]

Career

At the age of 17, Artemas made his first so-called "very bad rock song", which was played on local radio.[6]

Artemas' first music release was the single "High 4 U" in November 2020. In 2022 he released the mixtape I'm Sorry I'm Like This, which remains available on Bandcamp.[4] The same year his sound was compared to that of Rex Orange County "with a hint of R&B".[10] On 24 October 2023 Artemas released the single "If U Think I'm Pretty" which went viral shortly after. By 2024, the song had reached the UK[11] and other European countries as well as in Canada and Australia.[5] The single led to the release of his debut mixtape Pretty in February 2024.[12]

On 19 March 2024 he released the single "I Like the Way You Kiss Me", which reached number one in Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Germany, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Latvia and Lithuania, number three in the UK, and number twelve in the US, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in countries including Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Norway.[5][9] Variety described it as one of the "most ubiquitous songs of 2024".[3] The single led to the release of his sophomore mixtape Yustyna in July 2024.[3]

Artemas' fourth mixtape was released in October 2025.[13]
