Diamond Ortiz is a modern purveyor of the classic funk sound, infusing elements of modern production and hip-hop into a genre deeply rooted in the grooves of the 70s and 80s. Hailing from the West Coast, which has a storied history in the development of funk music, Ortiz has carved out a niche by blending the musicality of old-school funk with the digital flair of contemporary music, keeping the essence of funk alive and relevant for a new generation of listeners.

His discography showcases an artist who is both a student and innovator of the funk genre. With releases like "Customized" and "Two Player Game," Ortiz breathes fresh life into the sound with snappy basslines and catchy melodies. "Funk Freaks Presents: Splifffunk, Vol. 2" displays his deep connection to the funk community and its grassroots movements, while albums like "Plays The Hits, Vol. 1" and "Play For Keeps (Remaster)" attest to his skill in reimagining and revitalizing classic tracks. A collaboration like "Thrill Me" with Cassandra Dalí illustrates his willingness to merge his funk essence with diverse musical talents, ensuring his sound remains as eclectic as it is infectious. Whether it's laying down the soundtrack for a laid-back afternoon or crafting anthems for the dance floor, Diamond Ortiz keeps the spirit of funk glowing bright.
