Break Out The Crazy (Chris Hierro and Katya Diaz) present a powerful combination of musical talent and influences to create what can only be described as a kaleidoscope of sounds and vibes. Both Katya and Chris have toured Europe, America, and Mexico singing background and/or dancing for numerous artists including Beyoncé, Snarky Puppy, Thalia, Lindsey Lohan, Jerry Rivera, Obie Bermúdez, Don Omar, and many others. The two met in 2012 while on tour with multi-Grammy winner Alejandro Sanz and began songwriting together, eventually culminating in their debut release (“Hold On”) as Break Out The Crazy in 2017. Ebro Darden showcased the song on Apple Music’s Beats1Radio show remarking, “infusing pop and great stories…it’s a thoughtful cross genre production… they got a movement started.”
Together they have composed the jingle for a worldwide Samsung campaign, penned the carnival hit “Body Talk” for KES The Band, and composed the score for the Netflix comedy series It’s Bruno. They garnered much praise when they lent their voices to the song “Lejos De Ti” featured as the theme song in the 2018 remake of the classic film Overboard. Their first EP, Pause Rewind (2018), won them their first Premio Indie Dominicano (Dominican Indie Award) and set them on the path as the duo to watch in the independent music scene. Other notable mentions include collaborating as songwriters/producers with several artists like Jhoni the Voice and Eli Jas of the Latin world, The Voice finalists OneUp Duo, Malagasy bassist Patrick Andy (on his worship album Mifalia), and alongside the legendary Wyclef Jean and Jazz pianist Meddy Gerville as BOTC was featured on the song “At Your Feet”.
