Diles is a certified audio engineer, beat conductor, Hip-Hop emcee, and producer out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Diles is a proud graduate of the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Phoenix, Arizona. With no other formal training in music, Diles has explored the world of sound vibration intimately throughout his adult life. Like the legends who have inspired him, Diles has locked himself in bedrooms and basements for months at a time to hone his craft.

The Southwest native is sitting on hundreds of quality music compositions and a handful of solid productions that center on creativity and collaboration. In 2011, Diles will make his mark on the music world with releases that cross the genres of hip-hop, nu-jazz, neo-soul, spoken word, and experimental music.

Among these projects are Mood Static – a compilation of some of Albuquerque’s unique up-and-coming artists, along with guest appearances from artists from the Rocky Mountain region and the East Coast; Name & Town – a Hip-Hop album fea
