ABOUT
Daniel is a pianist, keyboardist, percussionist, and producer based in OC. He grew up on the Big Island of Hawai’i where he started piano lessons at the age of 3. His classical training allowed him to branch out to other genres such as classic rock, jazz, film, pop, and more. Daniel is an 80s-junkie and his playing style mimics that of keyboard legends Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Jim Brickman, and Billy Joel. He currently studies piano at Chapman University, where he is also active in the Symphony and Orchestra as a percussionist. Daniel’s dream in moving from the islands is to make it big in the LA music industry as a performer and producer.
