Born in Lanús, Argentina in 1963, Daniel Díaz began playing bass in 1980 and continued performing professionally in Argentina until 1997 (playing other instruments among with bass) with many local rock, fusion, folklore and tango bands. He developed an extensive career as an arranger and musical director for bands and singers in Buenos Aires, especially in the Tango, Folklore, and Pop scene. In 1992 he travelled the USA where he studied improvisation (with Bruce Gertz and Oscar Stagnaro at Berklee College of Music in Boston) and bass (with Mark Egan and Percy Jones in New York City and Alexis Skjlarevsky in LA)

In ‘93 he produced "The Years Alone" featuring eleven of his songs combining traditional argentine rhythms like Zamba, Chacarera, Cueca with non-traditional structures and sounds inspired in rock, jazz, and classical styles. The album has a particular mood with the use of instruments from north Argentine, Peru and Bolivia, such as the Quena, Pinkullo and the Sikus, as well as Tango's traditional Bandoneon. “The Years Alone” was released in the US and Canada by Green Linnet/Xenophile in January’1996. He continued this recording/composing career with “Segundo Ciclo” (1997) released in 2002 by Dutch jazz label Timeless Records. He also recorded the electric “Maquina Dura” and the acoustic “Maquina Blanda”.

Since 1997 he lives in Paris, France, where he’s been producing, recording and performing live (concerts in Paris and tours in Italy, Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, Turkey, Luxemburg, Monaco, Belgium, Andorra, Switzerland, Morrocco, USA and all around France).

In 2003 he produced an album of electronic versions of Latin music classics: «Latinos Kretinos». In 2005 he released a new CD with US woodwind player Bobby Rangell and Argentinean percussionist Javier Estrella. In 2000 DD produced an album by classical baritone Jorge Chaminé:“Alma Latina1”, with whom he’s performing ever since.

In 2006 he completed a new electronic/experimental album: “Electro World Jam” performed by multi-cultural musicians around the globe exchanging files and “virtually jamming” against each other’s tracks.
