Vienna, Austria-based and Bolzano, Italy-born, Diego Federico has cultivated a passion for the arts through learning piano, singing in choirs, and eventually attending and graduating from the Performing Center Austria. Diego followed this with appearances on Starmania in 2021, which led to his first single releases the following year. Continuing to unveil new avenues of his sound in the time since, Diego is unique and energetic in his music.
Diego’s latest release ‘Drop It’ is a dark and powerful pop anthem, the artist pouring out thumping kick drums, thick, aggressive bass lines and vibrant synth design in the choruses and airy, celestial, moving moments within his sombre verses. Contrasting a pain in his love and an unsympathetic attitude to how he’s been treated, Diego’s verses are laced with raw passion, each piece of the sound design set out on a mission to support his emotions, trying to contain his ferocious performance within their own dynamic grit. A testament to his alternative pop abilities the constant dive between his feelings shows the authenticity of his songwriting.
The artist adds, “Have you ever been hurt by the person you love the most? You cannot really put it into words, but all you want to do is run away.”
