About Me

Hi, I'm Daniel! Music is my life. I'm currently in my last semester at Colorado State University Pueblo finishing a BA in Music. In the Fall, I plan on going to grad school for a Masters in Music Education. At the moment, I play Electric & Upright Bass for The 101st U.S. Army Band, I'm Principal for CSU-P String Orchestra Bass Section, and I play Electric Bass for the CSU-P Jazz I Ensemble. I also give lessons and play bass professionally for individuals and ensembles that hire me. For the vocal half of my musicianship, I sing tenor for the CSU-P Concert and Chamber Choirs.

Aside from music, the most important people in my life are my family and all of my wonderful friends. Without them, life just wouldn't be as good.

My Interests

Music, Electric and Upright Bass, Singing, Teaching, Learning, The U.S. Army, Kappa Sigma, Physical Fitness, Photography, and everything else!

I'd like to meet:

I love meeting new people! When it comes to friends, I believe one can never have too many!View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
