CCM MAGAZINE says...
“With Catchy hooks, toe-tapping melodies, and undeniable artistry, the Jonny Diaz Band grabs you at first listen. A former college baseball player, Diaz does smart, guitar-driven pop flawlessly.”
BART MILLARD (lead singer of Mercy Me) says...
"The bottom line is Jonny Diaz is the real deal. To stand in front of 7000
people with just your guitar and your voice, and keep the crowd captivated
is a gift. Jonny has that gift and then some."
MIKE SNYDER (president of Third Coast Booking) says...
"Jonny Diaz has the potential to make a real impact in our industry. He is a
pleasure to be around and delivered when given the chance to perform."
THERESA ROSS (DJ for 88.1 the promise in Jax, FL) says...
"Jonny's sound is "now"...in an industry where many songs start to sound the
same, i'm digging Jonny's fresh approach and his honest lyrics...can't wait
to see "Hold Me" performed live... "
As a freshman at Florida State University, Jonny was focusing his time and talents as a member of the baseball team. However, God began a work in his life that led him to put down his bat and pick up his guitar.
At first glance, this may not seem like a very large decision, but when you consider that Jonny was the fourth Diaz boy to go to college with a baseball scholarship, it becomes evident that this was more than a pastime to the Diaz family. In fact, two of Jonny’s older brothers have played ball on a professional level. (Matt is currently the left fielder for the Atlanta Braves.) But, with God opening the doors, Jonny began an exciting new adventure. His tremendous song-writing talent, his vocal and guitar playing skills, and his ability to connect with his audience, have kicked off a grassroots buzz that has taken his music nationwide.
“Shades of White,” was released in August 2003 as he entered his sophomore year of college. Its unique, uplifting rhythms; significant, life-touching lyrics; and great harmonies have made it popular with all age groups. Jonny’s debut CD continues to touch and change thousands of lives.
Jonny released his second CD in September 2005 as he entered his senior year at FSU. “Everyday God” maintains the acoustic vibe and melodic style that made his first record so popular, but it has a fuller, richer sound enhanced by additional instrumentation and electronic elements. The lyrics, the music, and the production represent Jonny’s growth as a musician and in his walk with God. They have caught the attention of radio DJs nationwide who dare to play indie music.
Jonny’s third CD, “They Need Love” was just recorded at Sputnik Studio in Nashville with Mitch Dane (producer for Jars of Clay, Bebo Norman, etc.) using back up musicians who consistently play with Caedmon’s Call, Jars of Clay, Dave Barnes, and Matt Wertz, Its recent release on March 22, 2007, has already received nationwide attention.
Independently, Jonny has racked up nearly 20,000 CD’s sold. It’s no wonder why he has captured the attention of some of Christian music’s largest record labels. However, this 25 year old seeks to find contentment right where he’s at. “I’m not apposed to signing a record deal. I have a very clear calling for where this music ministry should go. If someone wants to get behind that and push me further, I’m excited about that possibility.” Looks like we’ll have to wait and see what is next for this talented singer/songwriter.
