Early life

Diego Saa was born in Quito, Ecuador on October 18, 1980. His full birth name is Diego Enrique Saa Villamar. Diego began playing music when he was 13, when he started receiving private classic piano lessons. Later he started playing bass and singing in school bands.

Verde70

Recognition of his playing started in Ecuador when Verde70 released its first CD Alegre Depresion, which instantly topped Ecuador's charts for several weeks. His recognition as a member of Verde70 increased with the group's second release Ruta Melancolia, and third release Con Cierto Cuidado.
