Victoria, Texas musician Jose’ Diaz has been doing his fret-board gymnastics since the age of 13. His brand of high-volume-guitar-fueled-hard-rock has dominated his music from the beginning. From a humble high school gym in the early eighties, to the bright lights of the Riverside Convention Center, the few times that he has stalked the stage have been memorable to those who witnessed him live and unrestrained. His tornado-like finger-ballets cover the entire guitar neck and then some. For Mr. Diaz it seems the end of the fret-board is no barrier. His playing is the true essence of being “loud and proud”.
March, 2009 saw the release of his 8thth CDr by CDbaby.com. “FINAL THOUGHTS”, kicks out a wall of guitar-work and thought provoking lyrics. In this offering we find more instrumental work than on past albums.
Jose’s juggling act of recording himself, mastering and performing on other artists works, coming up with new material, updating web pages, and a day job, is just the tip of his feverish mental iceberg. His music is available almost everywhere in the digital domain. And he adds new stores to his distribution belt as often as he can.
His collaborators are many as well as the lists of websites where his music can be found. His works have appeared on several releases of the Compilation Series put out by A.O.G.MEDIA, and his guitar slinging has graced works by such artist as Terry Daun, and Jesse DeLaO, (the head of A.O.G.MEDIA). Some of the songs for A.O.G are even contractual “exclusives” found only on the media companies' releases. There is an unreleased work done with New York head bangers, LOVEBONE and some online collaboration on Indabamusic.com. In addition to his collaborative works, Jose’ has appeared onstage recently with Jesse DeLaO as a guest guitarist for a CD release party for COMPILATION 7 from A.O.G.MEDIA. This was his first return to the stage in almost twenty-five years. Next was an impromptu jam with Danny DeLaO on guitar and “Mr. Madman” Saenz on drums for a video shoot of Jesses’ “DEATH ANGEL” which features Jose’ on lead guitar. On other fronts his songs have been played by radio and internet stations world wide and a current promotional push is underway in Australia.
The band he formed in high school left its mark on Jose’ and is reflected in how easily he creates music both with and without others involved. His studio is a minefield of lyric sheets and guitars, headphones and microphones. The band LEGASYS may no longer exist but Jose’ does. The music is still being born and that’s what drives him, the music.
Keep your ears peeled back for the next powerful offering from this secret of the gulf coast. The guitars will be loud and the songs will be proud!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. The party at The Mustang's open mic was cool. It would of been better, but some young kids who had already played cut me off mid-set. I wasn't able to get the video footage I wanted, so I'll have to wait until the Hastings open mic next month.
