Dr. Rafael José Diaz (born April 22, 1955) is a Puerto Rican actor,

singer and television host.Rafael was born in Manatí, Puerto Rico,

where his father, a physician born in the Dominican Republic, was the

medical director of the local hospital. His family eventually moved to

Mayagüez in Western Puerto Rico where he grew up. While living in

Mayagüez he sang and acted in various amateur radio and television

broadcasts, as well as in high school talent shows. His reputation as

a powerful singer followed him to San Juan, Puerto Rico, while

attending medical school. His family supported his singing career on

the condition that he finished the dentistry program at the University

of Puerto Rico School of Dental Medicine. He interrupted his studies

for close to eight years when his singing career took off, but

eventually finished his degree and became a dentist (although he

rarely practices his profession nowadays).In 1978, he was selected by

Telemundo to represent Puerto Rico in the seventh edition of the OTI

Festival, which was held in Santiago, Chile. His song entitled

"Háblame" (Talk to me), which was warmly received by the audience and

by the international jurors gave him the fourth place.In 1980, he won

the ninth edition of the Festival OTI, in Buenos Aires, Argentina,

with his interpretation of the song Contigo Mujer, which scored 36

points in the event and became an instant hit all over the Puerto

Rican radio. The song was composed by singer Ednita Nazario (Who had

represented Puerto Rico in the same festival the previous year) and

Laureano Brizuela. Another radio hit was "Yo Quiero Hacerte Olvidar",

the theme song for the telenovela "Martha Llorens".
