About

Diego Robledo is a Mexican double bassist, composer, and producer working across classical performance, original composition, and electronic music.

Originally from Chiapas, he began his musical path as a drummer before finding his voice in the double bass. He holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of Sciences and Arts of Chiapas and a Master of Music from Pennsylvania State University. His orchestral work includes performances with the Pennsylvania Chamber Orchestra, the Croatian Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra, and ensembles throughout Mexico and the United States. He is currently principal double bassist of the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra.

Alongside his orchestral career, Diego develops original projects that explore rhythm, low frequencies, and cultural identity. He is the founder and producer of La Cumbia del Otro Lado, a project blending Latin rhythms with electronic production, and collaborates with artists across genres. His work as a composer focuses on expanding the expressive possibilities of the double bass, including solo repertoire released on digital platforms.

Diego is also an active educator, having worked with Esperanza Azteca, El Sistema Venezuela, and as a teaching assistant at Penn State, and has given masterclasses internationally, including Guadalajara BassFest 2025. Across performance, composition, and production, his work is driven by curiosity, craft, and a commitment to sound as a living, evolving language.
