Video Game and Television/Film composer Dan Diaz has been playing and writing music since early in elementary school. Represented by Bob Rice at Four Bars Intertainment, who is known for representing many of the top composers in the video game world, Dan recently completed original music for the Electronic Arts game "Skate 3" for the PS3 and XBox360. His work also includes two other games in the "Skate" franchise: "Skate 2" for the same next-gen consoles, and "Skate It" for the Nintendo Wii. He's also had his music featured in MTV, VH1, NBC, and CW productions; written cues included in two national "Toyotathon" commercials; composed and produced "Punk and Indie Rock: Slammin' Sounds of So Cal"; and contributed to the writing and recording of "Hip Hop Exotica", "Neo Soul 2", and "Reggaeton", all music libraries distributed by Big Fish Audio. In addition, he scored the full length film "Dead Signal". Along with composing, Dan also works as a producer/engineer/mixer in Los Angeles, with dozens of credits to his name in that arena.
