Diego Martinez
Diego has been performing as a vocalist for several years, despite his youth, in front of live audiences. His inclination towards jazz music was sparked by the iconic crooners Paul Anka, Bobby Darin, and notably, Frank Sinatra. Diego became captivated by the soulful essence of this genre and aspired to perform with a big band jazz orchestra. In 2018, he was afforded the opportunity to attend a performance by the local Beethoven Big Band, during which he was invited to showcase his talents as a vocalist. This proved to be a pivotal moment in his career. Diego achieved a significant milestone when he was invited to perform alongside Michael Bublé at the AT&T Center in 2019. Presently, Diego is entertaining audiences in central Texas and beyond, offering a diverse repertoire that includes the works of Sinatra, Bublé, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Nat King Cole, and more. He is particularly gratified by the prospect of introducing younger generations to the unique and timeless style of music that he loves.
Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
I like to assume my friends would describe me as loyal and charismatic. I
enjoy advocating for each of my friends and their passions. And I do my best to approach each
individual and opportunity with my best foot forward. I have definitely reached some goals in my
life, both in my career and personal life. But I’m hungry for much more, in both aspects of my life.
This is not to say that I am not grateful and trying to remember to count my blessings. I hope
to set a good example for my family and friends, as someone who kept at it. With consistency and
determination. I'm grateful to have such supportive parents. From helping with loading and
unloading equipment for gigs, to advocating and giving me advice/criticism. My dream is to make
them as proud as I can possibly make them. My father once taught me the phrase, “He who
hesitates, is lost.” And while I still hesitate to take action sometimes, I will do my best to live by this
moving forward.
