Jonny Diaz
Jonny Diaz grew up in Lakeland Florida. He was the youngest of four athletic
brothers. In 2002 he started at Florida State University on a baseball scholarship.
All three of his brothers had also gone to college on for baseball (two going on to
play professionally.) But Johnny was the first to give up his sports dream for a
different dream. Music. He started playing early on in college and released his
first independent album Shades of White in 2003. That was followed by Everyday God
in 2005.
After graduation he went to Nashville where he recorded another indie album They
Need Love in 2007. That album sold over 12,000 copies and interest of several
labels.
During that time Jonny Diaz opened in concert for a number of prominent Christian
artists including Steven Curtis Chapman, Mercy Me, Shane and Shane, Bebo Norman, and
KJ52. He also released an indie Christmas album called Come Let Us Adore.
Jonny Diaz had been working on another indie album, but before it was released he
signed with INO records. More Beautiful You (2009) will be his first album on a
major record label.
