Daniel Santos

1. I make sure that the time and location are accurate. I show up to the venue about 30 minutes to one hour before the event to set up my instrument and amplifier.
2. I normally wear all black blazer, long sleeve polo shirt, slacks and dress shoes.
3. I show up with complete amplification and up to 3 hours of solo guitar music (multiple music genres) if necessary. I don't play along with a recorded music. My music is all self-accompanied and just raw live music straight from one instrument, guitar.
4. I like to mix up my music genres and cater to the people I'm playing for, creating the appropriate vibe and mood that my client would like to have.
5. Besides background music, I also have ready feature performance pieces, if there's a need for a short presentation.
6. My set up takes about 15 minutes--it's about the same when I tear down. My station/stage area is about 4 feet by 5 feet.

My name is Daniel. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years. I earned a bachelor's degree with honors in classical guitar performance from California Sate University, Northridge back in 2008. I've traveled to many countries as a musician playing classical, rock, pop and jazz music for thousands of people.
Being guitarist is my full time job. I love playing and I love inspiring people with my music.

For staging, I do not require a power outlet since my guitar amplifier is battery powered; it can be placed wherever the client prefers. My amplifier has a stand, and it's loud enough to cover up to 100 people outdoors, or indoors. I also have a wireless microphone with mic stand for host/emcee to use for announcements.
I can also play mp3/record music through my PA system via bluetooth if necessary.
