Looking for keyboards that truly transform your song into something bigger? Hi! I'm Diego, a keyboardist and arranger with over 25 years of experience in heavy metal, rock & cinematic styles. I specialize in creating full keyboard productions, from powerful orchestral arrangements & atmospheric layers to expressive piano parts & high-energy solos.
As the keyboardist and arranger of my main band, Lord Divine, I have developed extensive experience building layered symphonic arrangements and cinematic keyboard productions, experience that I now bring to my session work with artists worldwide.
I have recorded keyboards and created arrangements for full-length albums as well as individual songs, often with full creative freedom to build arrangements from scratch, turning good songs into massive productions.
Whether your song needs symphonic orchestrations, choir layers, piano, synth textures or a blazing solo, I focus on creating parts that serve the song and elevate its impact.
What I can bring to your song:
• Full keyboard arrangements from scratch
• Symphonic orchestration (strings, choirs, brass)
• Piano arrangements
• Synth layers and textures
• Keyboard solos in progressive and metal styles
• Creative input to enhance your song's atmosphere and energy
• Keyboard production for full-length albums
If your song feels like it needs something bigger, richer or more cinematic, I’d love to help bring it to life.

Incredibly creative & melodic player! Absolutely elevated my song to another level. I wish I found Diego sooner. Will definitely hit him up for other songs in the future. I can't wait to share this track with others. I needed zero modifications, it was perfect on the first draft. Highly recommended!

We just finished recording our second full length album with Diego and the end result nothing short of spectacular. He comes up with the most creative ideas I've ever heard and doesn't sound like anyone else. A professional at the absolute top of his game. This guy is MAGIC!

Did a brilliant job putting together some parts for me that aren't in his usual genre. Quick turn around and great comma too.

My band is now on it's second album with Diego. He is both a great musician and one of the most gifted people I've had the honor of working with. An amazing talent!

We had Diego play on our last album because he brought such incredible talent to the project we had to have him our next album. His use of choirs, symphonies, piano, hammond organ (and many more) took our songs to a whole new level. He creates a wall of sound and can rip a solo over just about anything. They don't get much better. 5 stars!

Diego is an absolute master of his craft. We just started on our second album with him and the results are nothing short of amazing. He adds a monster sound and is super creative in his ideas. For all fans who love symphonic metal he's the guy you want on your team.
check_circleVerifiedMy band was in search of a keyboard player for our new album and came across Diego. We needed someone who could play in a Heavy/Progressive style and he was the perfect fit. He brought the most amazing addition to our sound. He is not your average keyboard player. The sounds and orchestration made a much better and bigger sounding band. Good songs became great songs. The album is finished and wouldn't been the same without his input. A total professional and monster player!
