“A Day in The Life” with: Montréal Producer and Songwriter Kayla Diamond

Kayla Diamond is more than just one of Canada’s best music producers—she is a virtuoso of all things musical. She has achieved countless personal and professional successes in the business, but beyond those accolades, the most exciting thing about her is her lust for life. She not only knows how to have a good time but also how to foster a space where people feel welcome and excited to live life.

Kayla’s humour and wit are unmatched—she can make a whole room roar with laughter, à la Joan Rivers. But the most important thing to Kayla is her family, whom she respects and loves above all else. Kayla is an amazing mother and provider, but more than that, she is always ready to do anything for her family, happily and without hesitation. Together with her wife, Kayla is a powerhouse of talent, love, and life.
