"Solista que se destaca por una gran calidad en sus composiciones y que está respaldado por el trabajo previo de este artista en la música".
"Diego debe aprovechar su talento y sus buenas composiciones para lograr así una mayor exposición".
"La experiencia que he tenido haciendo parte de composiciones importantes, me animan a seguir componiendo y a trabajar duro este año para que mi primer trabajo como solista logre recordación y entre a jugar duro este año donde la apertura a sonidos influenciados por el rock en inglés va a ser definitiva". - Shock Magazine

Bio
DIEGO-M
Colombian Dance-Rock Artist. With influences from bands like The Killers, Coldplay, Daft Punk, Muse, he writes upbeat songs with social content. His first album “Memories” was mastered by the living legend Doug Sax, a multiple GRAMMY Awards winner, in Los Angeles, CA. Doug Sax credits include Pink Floyd, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Korn, Ray Charles, Sheryl Crow, Alison Krauss, U2, among others.
Considered one of the “Breakout Acts” in Colombia during 2009, thanks to the multiple recognitions he had, including nominations for: “Best New Artist” - Shock Awards 2009, “Best Vocal Performance” and “Best Rock Artist” - El Garaje Awards 2009, “Best Male Artist” - Orbita Rock Awards, and “Best Male Artist” for the Subterranica Rock Awards 2010. He was also selected as a “Featured Artist” in the “Best of Summer Compilation” by BOOM Magazine on their 2009 Summer Edition.
In early 2010 he was ranked 1st in a Microsoft Windows 7 campaign called “Playlist 7”, for having the most downloaded song by fans all over the world during the first week of the year, making him a “Featured Artist” for the campaign. The song selected for “Playlist 7” was “Tonight”, a single that is going to be released by February 2010, and will have a Spanish version called “La Noche” for the Latin market.
Each song of DIEGO-M is like an x-ray into the depths of teenager’s minds; they need to shout to the world what they feel, but sometimes don’t find the way or the place to do it. Fear, sadness, pain and sorrow are surrounding them, and they just feel like the world is going too fast and this consumer society is taking their individuality away…
DIEGO-M uses music to get to the heart of every human being, inviting him or her to live a new life; he writes about his life experiences and what he thinks are the biggest problems of today’s society: indifference and lack of humanity.
