My father Alejandro R. Diaz played the guitar and he taught me. My little brother Albert began with the trumpet in elementary and eventually went on to play with La Sombra from Chicago. He played with them for a few years then got signed with Sony. I wrote his first his song, "Palomita" with "Tu Me Besas" on the flip side. My brother had a few future Tejano stars in his band, such as Chris Perez, Chente Barrera, Alfonso Gonzales. On the second record, I got to play guitar on a few songs but none so famous as "Carino Mio", where I played with Joel Guzman. The third CD, Cambiame was the best one yet, where he had some of the best Tejano musicians in San Antonio come and play. Today Tiger is working on a fourth record, soon to be out in the Tejano Market. Tejano music is shaped by many different Artist, but Tejano music has one factor that has been silent but influential and that is the inspiration of the Diaz Family.
