Diego Andrés González Boneta is a Mexican singer and actor. He is best known for playing Rocco in the Mexican soap opera Rebelde and Javier on CW's 90210. He recorded his self-titled debut album with his first single, Responde in 2005 and a Brazilian version for the album, with songs in Portuguese was recorded in 2006. He appeared as Alex Santiago in the ABC Family series of Pretty Little Liars, Drew Boley in Rock of Ages, and Pete Martinez in the 2015 series Scream Queens.
Boneta was born in Mexico City, the son of Astrid Boneta and Lauro González, who are engineers. His father is Mexican, while his mother was born in the United States, to a Puerto Rican father and Spanish mother. Although he never knew his grandfather, Diego credits him for his musical talents.
Boneta speaks Spanish and English fluently. Boneta has triple citizenship, the other two being from the United States and Spain.
During his stint in Rebelde, he released his debut album, titled Diego, in Mexico, Chile and Brazil in 2005. The album was available for digital sale on April 3, 2006 and released in the United States on April 24. The first single, "Responde" (an adaptation of the 2000 single "A Mil Por Hora" by Lynda Thomas), became a top ten single in various countries including Argentina and Brazil. His songs were synchronized in the telenovela Rebelde and, once finished, he went on an international tour with Mexican pop group RBD as a guest. "It was a really cool experience, because in countries like Brazil or Romania everybody sang my songs in Spanish," he said.
When promoting his first album in Mexico he opened three concerts (in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey) for Hilary Duff in 2006.
