Luis and Hugo Diaz are brothers who form the Diaz Brothers music production team based out of Miami, Florida. Although they often confused with the Tony Touch’s Diaz Brothers they are Not rappers they are PRODUCERS. Even though they are not limited to one type of music, their primary focus is on Hip-Hop, and are most famous for bringing the Latino rapper Pitbull to fame. They began their careers when Luis took to producing Miami Bass and Freestyle records in the late 80’s, which remain somewhat obscure today. Years later Luis became one of the most reputable engineers at Circle House Studios, earning jobs mixing and recording everybody from The Baha Men to P Diddy to 50 Cent to Juvenile to Beenie Man to Trick Daddy to Lil Scrappy to Beyonce to Toni Braxton to Mary J Blige to Lauryn Hill just to name a few. As a result of his reputation as engineer, The Diaz Brothers scored remix jobs for several major artists, including The Rolling Stones and Wyclef Jean. When one of their remixes done for Clef (Sony Discos - In the Zone) became a hit, they took the opportunity to ask Clef for advice on their careers. Clef gave one important nugget of info: "find one hot new artist and invest yourselves into that." Hence "PITBULL"
They kept their eyes peeled for someone who’d fit the bill, Luis met a very charismatic young man during a mixing session for Luke Records. Thinking this kid was an intern at the studio led to a bosterious conversation with the young man, who admitted that the track Luis was mixing was his, Pitbull’s !!! Shocked at not only the quality of the rapper, but the charisma of the man he was speaking with, Luis extended the offer that if the rapper was ever freed from his contract at Luke Records, he should give the Diaz Brothers a call. Surprisingly, a few months later, Pitbull did call, and their unification immediately rocketed both the rapper and the production crew to worldwide fame.
The Diaz Brothers have now found that new artist to follow on the heels of the success of Pitbull, his name "CASELY" they are currently in the lab producing songs for Casely’s album. The first single "Emotional" has already climbed up the charts at WPOW Power 96 in Miami. In addition to signing the future of Miami’s R7B scene they have also signed Dj Laz and are working on his new album as well!!! They’ve also produced tracks for Dj Khaled, Daddy Yankee, Lloyd Banks, Lil Jon and The Eastside Boyz, Trick Daddy, Trina, Brisco, Garcia and the 2 Fast 2 Furious Sountrack.
