Биография

Leading the way for modern NZ hip hop to break away from the safety of the norm, Diaz began experimenting with new flavours and sounds in 2012, in a climate that didn’t want change. Diaz helped to open the door for Aotearoa to join hip-hop in the new global climate of the internet. In 2015, Diaz released his debut album 'Osiris', a soundtrack to the end of the world. A post-apocalyptic sonic journey that resonated with audiences and critics alike, the success of Osiris saw Diaz nominated for Best Urban/Hip-Hop Album at the New Zealand Music Awards that year. Following the success of the album Diaz was invited to go on a ten show nationwide tour with local superstars Six60 and then in 2016 became the first self-managed, unsigned artist from New Zealand to ever be invited to play SXSW. Diaz worked on his single ‘Foreigners’ with Grammy award winning producer and songwriter Mike Elizondo (Prod. of Eminem’s ‘Real Slim Shady’, 50 Cent’s ‘In Da Club’ & The Games ‘How We Do’). ‘Foreigners’ debuted at #16 on the NZ singles charts – the only unsigned, self managed artist in the charts that week. After two years living in Toronto, Diaz returned home to Aotearoa to build a new ecosystem in the NZ music industry. By artists, for artists. While overseeing dozens of projects, in 2021 Diaz released a full te reo single ‘Te Kore’ featuring Dame Hinewehi Mohi as a part of Waiata Anthems. He was one of the only self-managed, unsigned artists to be involved with the campaign.
