On Tuesday, October 29, Tetrarch’s co-founder, Diamond Rowe, made an exciting appearance on Loudwire Nights, where she passionately shared insights about the band’s journey and teased some thrilling developments on the horizon. Rowe conveyed her enthusiasm for the band’s progress and hinted at future projects that fans can look forward to.

Reflecting on the early days of their musical journey, Rowe recounted, “When [frontman] Josh [Fore] and I first began jamming, it quickly became clear that this was our lifelong passion.” She expressed how they both recognized their commitment to music almost instinctively, stating, “We had that moment of realization, even at such a young age, that this is what we wanted to pursue for the rest of our lives.”

Rowe humorously acknowledged how early they took things seriously, admitting, “We were only around 12 years old, yet we approached it as if it was a significant career move.” This dedication at such a young age has undoubtedly shaped their current trajectory in the music industry.

When Chuck probed Rowe about the aspirations they held during those formative jam sessions, her response was both proud and confident. She exclaimed, “Looking at what we’re achieving now, if my 12-year-old self could see me today, she would be ecstatic and say, ‘This is exactly what I envisioned for my life!'”

Realizing a Dream: Diamond Rowe’s Signature Guitar Journey

One of Rowe’s long-standing aspirations has been to have her own signature guitar. Throughout her childhood, she admired iconic guitarists such as Dimebag Darrell, Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom, and Munky from Korn, often fixating on their unique guitars that symbolized their personal brands. “You could instantly recognize who owned that guitar, even if the artist wasn’t present,” Rowe reminisced.

She shared, “Having a signature model was always a dream, something I wished for without knowing if it would ever come true. It felt like a distant possibility, but I held onto that hope, thinking, ‘That would be awesome!’” Despite the uncertainty, Rowe remained optimistic about realizing this dream.

Rowe added, “I feel genuinely thankful for this opportunity. The entire experience has been beyond cool and fulfilling for me.” Her journey exemplifies how perseverance and passion can lead to monumental achievements in the music realm.
