Dian was flown to Los Angeles in June of 2018 to join the FOX TV show "THE FOUR: Battle For Stardom" Season 2 Episode 4, where he auditioned for judges DJ KHALED, P-DIDDY, and MEGHAN TRAINOR. In his video introduction, Dian shared his story about his arrival from Cuba to pursue his dream in becoming a crossover Latin/Pop entertainer. After performing with "HERO" by Enrique Iglesias, he impressed the judges and crowd, landing the opportunity to battle singer James Graham for a chance to steal his chair and fight for a record deal with Republic Records. His second performance against James really spiced things up and captured the attention of many viewers worldwide. He received great compliments and positive feedback from the judges after performing "FLOR PALIDA" by Marc Anthony. He even threw in a private salsa dance lesson for P-DIDDY and host FERGIE (former member of Black-Eyed Peas).

Since his appearance on the show, his fan base has increased by the thousands and he now resides in Miami, Florida. Dian is now working with well known Latin Grammy Award winning and nominated producers and engineers. He's due to release his first ever reggaeton single called "AYUDAME" in October and has officially begun the process of pursuing his dreams as an up and coming star in the United States.
