As a graduate of Azusa Pacific University with a B.A. in Piano performance, Daniel used his experience in collaborative piano and accompanying for university choirs to become a well-rounded performer, accompanist, music director, and studio musician. At an early age, he discovered a natural ability to learn music by ear and later went on to refine his skills in arranging an improvisation. This led to exciting opportunities to work for Yamaha Music Corporation, St. Regis Hotels, Anaheim Union High School District, Orange Lutheran High School, and several churches such as Covenant Presbyterian Church in Orange and First United Methodist Costa Mesa. Daniel has been a featured artist performing for prestigious special events including concerts at the Ritz Paris, Yamaha Piano Gallery in Tokyo Japan, Major League Soccer Championship in Portland Oregon, San Francisco Symphony Hall, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and the Steinway Gallery in Beverly Hills, New York City, Hamburg Germany, and Milan Italy. Anyone who has met Daniel or heard him play can immediately sense his enthusiastic energy and passion for music. Daniel is extremely grateful for the unwavering support from his parents and piano instructors. Without them, his musical journey would not be possible. Balancing a career in music and real estate, Daniel also spends his free time playing tennis, cycling, and taking classes at CrossFit.
