Born and raised in Gainesville, FL, Hunter received a Bachelor's in Jazz Studies from Indiana University. After graduation he spent 18 months traveling the world performing on cruise ships as a woodwind specialist and musical director. Since moving to Chicago in 2014, he has established two ensembles of his own. The Black Diamond Quartet and the Hunter Diamond Quintet can be seen performing at established venues such as The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge, Andy's Jazz Club, The Drake Hotel, The University of Chicago's Logan Arts Center, as well as many others. Hunter is also the lead tenor player for the Swing Shift Orchestra which performs every Thursday at the Green Mill. With a new project on the horizon (set to debut in the Spring of 2016) pairing new original music with the poetry of his father, Eric Diamond, Hunter will complete his Master's in Jazz Studies at DePaul University and continue to perform, record, and teach in Chicago.
