He then continued to develop his talent by entering the National System of Youth and Children’s Orchestras and Choirs of Venezuela (El Sistema), forming part of the Simón Bolívar Latin Caribbean Orchestra and the Youth Symphony, which gave him the opportunity to work with important artists of the country.
Upon settling in the city of Miami in 2015, he continued his studies and became involved in working with great international artists, bringing his style and musicality to each project. Dani, known as the youngest drummer and percussionist as of today has had great recognition from many important well known figures of percussion and the public music world itself.
