Our Story
Like Diamonds is a music project of Olga Kondratieva and Roman Kondratiev that was started in 2014 as a duo of violin and guitar. The main genre of the project is designated by the musicians as crossover.
It all began when, inspired by the work of the American violinist Lindsey Stirling, Olga and Roman recorded several cover versions of her compositions and uploaded them to their YouTube channel. Like Diamonds do not conceal that their dream is to reach the same heights in music as Lindsey but aspire to find their own approach to creative work and form their own unique image.
It was also in 2014 that the musicians left Ukraine to live and work in China. While in China Like Diamonds have recorded several cover versions of popular tracks and several original compositions; they also filmed a Like Diamonds debut video of a cover version of Lindsey Stirling’s composition Beyond the Veil. Olga and Roman have not only been busy writing music but also have explored different areas of entertainment industry from working as models to taking part in the Voice of China show as jury.
As a musician with higher academic education Olga constantly perfects her mastery of a violinist, takes singing lessons and participates in various music collaborations. Roman who is also a graduate of the Music Academy is now working at refining his skills in music production and management.
