J.J. Diamond started writing songs at an early age, influenced by the music of Jimmy Reed and the Rolling Stones, which shaped his style and subject matter during the formative years of learning to play piano and guitar. The above two influences opened the door to many other great blues-based artists who appeared as part of the “British Invasion” of the 1960s and ’70s, as well as the great American blues and soul artists of that era.

​

J.J. Diamond has a home in wonderful Las Vegas, Nevada, and splits his time between Las Vegas and The Netherlands, where he is currently working on a new project at Wisseloordstudio in Hilversum with Hugo Castillo, MIR Records/Bad Hombre Sound of Las Vegas. 

 

J.J. plans to spend most of 2026 in Europe, recording and promoting his most recent work, Personal Non Grata.
