Multi Talented Producer, Arranger, and Film Composer.
As a Film Composer, Diggy has been quite successful and accredits his success to two of his well-known mentors, Spike Lee and Steven Spielberg; he says,” these men have had a great impact on his life by w
hat they have contributed to the Film and Entertainment Industry over the years. Rob Diggy, often called “The Sixth Man of Music”, has been compared to phenomenal Composer’s and Producer’s like Terrence Blanchard, Brian Tyler, and Danny Elfman.
When Beyonce released her Multi-Platinum “Dangerously In Love” album in 2004, it featured the smash hit “Crazy In Love”, which earned Diggy a Grammy for his Outstanding Keyboard Arrangement and Musicianship for the remix. Diggy also recognizes that much of his success as an Arranger and a musician comes from another mentor and long time friend, Morris Hayes (Keyboard player for the famed artist “Prince”). Morris taught Diggy the art of keyboard synthesis and to this day still learns from him.
