Interview with Juanma Díaz
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I play the piano and sing since I was 7 years old. I had my first musical projects from the age of 13 and I started producing in my first serious projects at the age of 16. I have studied with renowned Argentine musicians such as Milton Amadeo (Producer/composer) or Leandro Garcia (Pianist), and I have trained in vocal technique for years with different teachers. Currently I work as a producer for TAHLS and I have my own project B.A.C.O in which I produce and arrange my own compositions. It has been a long road of 15 years in which I was trained in the technique and the profession of music both in the keyboards, in the voice, as in the production or arrangements and I am still training every day to be a better musician.
