Lu Diaz is a name synonymous with excellence in the music industry.

At just 18 years old, Diaz founded his first record label, setting the stage for a long and successful career.

Grammy-Winning Engineer: Recognitions and Achievements

In a quest to represent the Latin youth of Miami, Lu and Hugo scouted for the perfect candidate to break into the national hip-hop scene. During a mixing session at Luther Campbell’s (Uncle Luke of the 2 Live Crew) studio, Lu stumbled upon a young man who turned out to be a rapper. Impressed with both the quality of his music and his charisma, he offered him a deal. If he was ever freed from his contract at Luke Records, he should give The Diaz Brothers a call. A few months later, that young man called and his name is Pitbull. As the saying goes “the rest is history”.
