backup vocals and five incredible musicians behind him. Kevin has got a incomparable voice just like Neil Diamond. This makes the band create an amazing music and sounds that must have made even Neil feel proud. The show performed by Kevin easily convey his respect and love for songs and the artists while growing up in Toronto. Brought up in Toronto, he moved to California in 1993.

Kevin performed as a beginner with few local bands, fronted an original band and a cover band that imitated "Sweet Caroline" and finally formed Fantastic Diamonds. Kevin has got an awesome voice and that makes the show incredible and rocking together with other young and passionate artists.

His latest acts include playing for then-president Clinton with the big brothers big band jazz musical show, being heard on klon-fm with the Gary Urwin studio orchestra. He is also performing on Fox Sports net TV with the swing band "zoot suit revue". Getting a great responsibility of the band leader of Fantastic Diamonds, Frank quickly mastered the diamond tunes. As a result of such a fast grip of music and band's tune, he really brings them to life on stage and rocks the crowd with his own incredible style. After his style, he has earned a name "mad dog".

Rich Tyznik, a student of Miami University alumni, performs his talent on keyboards that truly makes fantastic diamond's sound authentic. Rich performance rocks not only for sax solo's, but also provides all the orchestra string sounds, flute on "I am i said", and "September morn". The highlight and combination of special effects really fill the dynamics of these songs that truly help to duplicate the "live" experience felt only at a Neil Diamond performance.
