IRENE DIAZ

The Los Angeles native originally launched her career in 2010 as a modern torch singer crooning soulful ballads with bare bone instrumentals, accompanied only by the piano, guitar, or ukulele. Her minimal approach not only paid tribute to musical influences like Sade, Nina Simone, Hope Sandoval, and Ritchie Valens, but also underscored the rich range and captivating emotions conveyed by her voice alone.

Her standout talent quickly prompted swift recognition for her music catalog and stunning live performances, causing her to become a media favorite. NPR repeatedly praised her over the years and even featured Diaz in their renowned “Tiny Desk Concerts” series. Others like OC Weekly have lauded her music as being “from the Nina Simone school of songwriting,” and further recognition has been published over the years by De Los LA Times, Rolling Stone Magazine, Grimy Goods and more. Diaz’s 2013 single, “Crazy Love,” has over 4 million plays on Spotify and made the list of top 10 wedding songs on Bride.com alongside music by John Legend and Lana Del Rey. “Crazy Love” has been such an international hit, that Diaz is frequently booked for performances all over the world to personally sing it at exclusive private events. With her evocative lyrics and dynamic stage presence, whether playing in an intimate venue like LA’s Hotel Cafe or for a crowd of over 13,000 for a Selena Tribute Concert in Chicago, Irene Diaz continues to captivate audiences, establishing herself as a prominent voice in the contemporary music landscape.

This summer 2026, Irene Diaz embarks on a new tour touching down in select cities across the US to perform new, unreleased songs from her upcoming full-length album, as well as her cult-classic tunes, connecting with her fans like never before.
