Introducing
|
My name is Danilo . I am a Philipino I have been here in NZ for 18 years
. I am married to Cherllisha and we have two children - Olivia (15) and
Ezra (10). We live in Pukerua Bay and we all love music. I am a freelance
singer, songwriter and guitarist. |
Description
of music |
I mainly do ballads - a mixture of classical, Latino and my own style.
I play half covers and half own original songs. |
Who/What
have been your main musical influences ? |
Cat
Stevens. Don MacLean. Simon and Garfunkel. Kansas . Filipino folk songs.
Ottmar Liebert playing a gypsy style of flamenco. |
Your
greatest musical moment? |
Playing
my two concerts at Tahora at the last music festival. I was blown away
by the response of the people. It was overwhelming. I really connected
to them while I was singing and they really listened to me. Also the Organic
Festival - that was my biggest audience yet - a lazy afternoon crowd -
it was great. |
Your
musical dream? |
To
be able to share some philosophy through my music - to express my thoughts
about what's going on. There are some messages I want to sing. I just
love it! Supporting other musicians is also my dream. |
Your
best recent listen? |
My
friend, Braden, performed three songs at a recent open mic night - his
first time on the microphone. He enjoyed himself and realized he can do
it. He has an awesome voice. From that one performance his passion increased
100%. It was neat. Its really amazing to see him doing it straight away
and shake his hand for doing it - it was magic. |
Your
thoughts about the Kapiti Live Music Club? |
It's
a place for everyone who loves music. Being involved in the last two years
and helping promote the club and do the advertising. The club can really
help everyone - it's a place for all of us to share our music. We can
all support each other and make our music livelier than ever! |
