Working with Dani is such a nice experience, I must tell. You will feel welcomed and comfrotable at all time. He is professional and friendly at the same time. Whatever you need he is able to do it. I worked for 3 big productions with Dani and I am always surprised by his availability, flexibility and professionalism. He can really do everything. Thank You Dani, for being the artist you are, the world should have more people like you. Thank you also for your help, time and patience and for having created a nice studio where other artists like me can feel free to dare! The best.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

How much time do you need to set up?

15 minutes for the guitar rig.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. I bring my own instrument to play acoustically or amplified.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in the song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
