Description
¡Hola Workawayers! I'm Diego, a passionate techno music artist based in Yumbo, Colombia. With a love for beats and a knack for creative expression, I've been immersed in the electronic music scene since I was 14 years old. Despite facing challenges due to the pandemic, I'm determined to reignite my career and make a comeback in the industry.
My current project focuses on revitalizing my music career and exploring new opportunities in the electronic music scene. From producing tracks and running a record label to performing live sets and connecting with fans, I'm dedicated to creating music that resonates with audiences worldwide. With the support of volunteers like you, I'm excited to take my music to the next level and share it with the world.
While I'm not part of a formal organization, I see my home and studio as a creative hub where ideas flourish and collaborations thrive. Together, we'll embark on a journey of musical discovery, cultural exchange, and personal growth. Whether we're brainstorming new ideas, capturing moments on camera, or exploring the vibrant city of Cali, you'll be an integral part of my creative process and musical vision.
