Diaz is no doubt one of the breakout artists of 2009. With his hit single "More Beautiful You," Diaz held the #1 spot at radio for four weeks in a row and to date, the song has received more than 110,000 single downloads and over 375,000 MySpace plays, along with over 135 million radio impressions and over 60,000 spins. The music video alone has received well over 500,000 online views. Diaz's CD, More Beautiful You, is his fourth to date and is his first signed with INO Records.

It doesn't end there. "More Beautiful You' continues to receive airplay across the nation not only at Christian radio but also on mainstream stations across the U.S. The single has hit Top 30 on Billboard's mainstream AC chart, and is currently top 12 on Clear Channel's new on-line program.

Diaz is already making another mark at radio with his next radio single, "Stand For You," the #1 most added song as of the first reporting week of the new year. Penned by Diaz, "Stand For You" shares the important message about standing up for Christ in a world that wants to water Him down. The song is quickly climbing the Christian charts, as it is already Top 10 at Soft AC/Inspo and Top 20 AC.

Steve Turley of WCLN, Fayetteville, NC, knew it was a hit when he first heard the song, stating, "'Stand For You' was a song I couldn't wait to add. Talk about a song that relates. I'm sure we all agree that instead of complaining about how bad things are getting, we need to be proactive in influencing our culture.

"Jonny Diaz puts into words what so many are already thinking," Turley shares. "Great song with timely lyrics."

To further promote the theme of the song, Diaz and INO Records have teamed with Tangle.com for the "Stand For You" video contest, where participants create their own video to show how they stand up for the Word of God. The contest is currently in full swing and further details can be found at http://jonnydiaz.com/contest.
