Studying a master’s degree in cinema, in Barcelona, the young musician and songwriter, Diego Jaar, was discovering what was the dream that if he did not fulfill he would regret it all his life.
Inspired by the cultural maelstrom of that great Spanish city, Diego enjoyed the festivals that took place there. He was assiduous in visiting bars and other places where young artists told how they had left everything just to go to Barcelona to sing or how they put aside a secure life to pursue the dream of music. These experiences made him wake up again in this young Dominican “the little worm” of music.
Jaar was already a publicist and, furthermore, he worked in the world of cinematography, so it was time to delve into his heart and follow his true vocation, the one he began at the age of four, when after seeing the musical “La novicia rebel”, upon arriving home, he was able to reproduce the music he had heard on a small piano. An innate talent, which his parents knew how to take advantage of and immediately enrolled him in classical piano lessons.
Singer-songwriters like Vicente García also inspired him to continue with music and his steps through festivals placed him in the eye of the Dominican public.

Determined, he buys a guitar, takes a notebook and begins to write songs. And it is in honor of this notebook that Diego titles his first album “Mi libreta”, an album that brings seven songs, in which he shows his concern for a variety of social problems, but exposed from other points that evoke love and even love. a wake up call.
