Singing Bio of Luca Daniel

Luca is originally from Italy, where he started singing in both traditional Italian groups as well as in a Baroque choir. After a prolonged absence from singing after moving to the United States, Luca has now enthusiastically returned to the stage, joining groups that embrace from early music to commissioned classical work and contemporary jazz. Luca sings mainly high tenor parts with some occasional countertenor adventures. His musical interests also include playing some classical guitar.
