Background:
Achilleas Diamantis is a graduate from MI in California USA, being taught by Scott Henderson, Joe Diorio, Don Mock and Sid Jacobs. His education gave him a thirst for Jazz and Fusion and lead him to start the band "Confusion" in 1998.

Achilleas returned to Greece and worked with one of his favourite Greek Jazz pianists Marcos Alexiou. Achilleas recorded two of his own compositions on the album "Flying to the unknown".

He found session musicians to complete his first album called "Confusion by Confusion" recorded in 1999. After the album was released Achilleas set about getting a band together. The band "Confusion" was born and a new album "Genesis" was released in 2001. A futher release called "Enter Alone" arrived in 2003.
