This week’s premieres includes two pop releases; one a debut and the other the last for a long time lead singer.

In the Fall of 2002, Jonny Diaz headed off to Florida State University on a baseball scholarship prepared to focus his time and efforts on his athletic skills. It was natural being the fourth of four brothers to attend college on full baseball scholarships, with two of his brothers having moved on to the professional level. However, God had other plans. Diaz began to sense a call to put down his bat and glove and instead, pick up his guitar. God began opening doors and Diaz embarked on an exciting new adventure. Since then, his talents for song-writing, singing and playing guitar have sparked a grassroots buzz.

This aptly descriptive and intelligent pop effort reveals lyrics, melodies and instrumentation that go far deeper than the stereotypical pop hit. With all songs written or co-written by Diaz, More Beautiful You captivatingly illuminates Diaz’s heart – a heart that is passionate about reaching his generation with the message of God’s love, forgiveness, and grace.
