Stratos Diamantis was born in Athens Greece and from the age of 10 was already learning the piano. In his teenage years he started composing his own music and playing in concerts with local rock bands, accompanied with lessons in classical music where he graduated with an A in harmony, counterpoint, fugue and orchestration.
His love for jazz music leads him to Marcos Alexiou, a Legendary Greek Jazz pianist and teacher, where he started jazz lessons.
At the age of 18 Stratos self produced and released a new age-experimental CD. This was his first contact with discography. Two years later he produced and played in his teacher and friend’s Marcos Alexiou CD, entitled “Flying to the Unknown” which was released by Warner.
From that day his name appears on more than 50 records as a composer, arranger, producer and session musician in many styles, varying from rock to pop, jazz to new age, also all this integrated into composing music for theatrical plays, TV documentaries and TV-Radio commercials.
Stratos is a famous pop composer in Greece and many of his collaborations with local artists went gold and platinum.
Having also made personal appearances at more than 100 concerts in Greece and in Europe.
He performed with a lot of local jazz groups and he played in 3 CD’s of his brother’s fusion group “CONFUSION”.
In 2004, he formed his first fusion group called “TECHNICAL INFO”. His brother Achilleas Diamantis (guitarist of CONFUSION), Takis Intas (drummer of CONFUSION) and Panagiotis Haramis (bassist of CONFUSION) joined the band and they recorded their debut album titled “TECHNICAL INFO I”.
