BREAK OUT THE CRAZY
Chris Hierro and Katya Diaz have combined forces to create what can only be described as a kaleidoscope of sounds and vibes; hence the name Break Out The Crazy. They recently collaborated with one of Trinidad’s most popular Soca groups Kes The Band on 2016’s carnival favorite “Body Talk”. They also wrote Jonael Santiago’s (Universal Music Group) first single “Sonríe La Vida” after he won La Voz Kids (Telemundo). Break Out The Crazy writes everything from Country/Pop to Urban, EDM and lots in-between. Seeking to create and infuse pop music with good stories and thoughtful cross genre production they hope to offer their unique perspective as their best asset.

Trying my best to be a literature scholar-- A proper one. Other than that, aspiring writer and experimental artist. Looking for some insight. Philosophers would be nice.
