Diego Martín

Singer/songwriter Diego Martin was born in 1980, in Murcia, a part of Spain known for its thriving musical community. Though Martin did not come from a musically inclined family, he taught himself to play the guitar at the age of 18. Spending the next few years working in a gas station and writing material, Martin soon caught the ear of execs at DRO Atlantic with his melancholy, lamenting style. His first release, Vivir No Es Solo Respirar ("To Live Is Not Just to Breathe") made huge waves on Spanish charts in 2006. Comprised entirely of Martin's original material, the record featured a collaboration with popular recording artist Raquel Rosario, singer for El Sueño de Morfeo. His sophomore effort was released in 2008. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
