Overview
My degree is in Jazz Piano from one of the top jazz schools, the University of Miami (undergrad) and the University of North Texas (masters degree). I'm also born and raised in NY, studying classical music at the Manhattan School of Music. I can play anything from Jazz to Latin Jazz, Classical Music, Billy Joel, Ed Sheeran, todays popular songs and much more! People love my playing because of my impeccable technique and ability to play many different genres. I also bring the fun personality needed for major events like yours. My price should be very competitive and I won't even need breaks. Take a look at my pictures/videos so you get a feel for my playing and personality.

July 23, 2026Fantastic!!
Dan was such a wonderful addition to our wedding! We hosted a micro wedding in a UES town house that had a beautiful piano so we looked for a pianist and I'm so happy we found Dan. He was very thoughtful, kind, and punctual. Everyone loved him and we would book him again 10000%! Thank you again Dan 😊

June 15, 2026Exceptional Cocktail Hour!
Dan is a seasoned pro and we could not have been happier with the music he provided for my son's wedding cocktail hour. He was prompt and ready to go when guests arrived, which was such a relief considering how busy and crowded the town was this weekend. Beyond his obvious talents, Dan was truly such a kind-hearted person who brought personalized vibes and joy to our event. We can't thank or recommend him enough. Dan, you're the best!! Best wishes to you!

March 29, 2026Fantastic!!
I highly recommend piano man Dan! He was so professional right from the first correspondence, and boy can he play the piano! We had a very big birthday party for my mom as she turned 100 years old, with about 55 people attending. My mom was a music teacher and private piano teacher so we had to have a really good pianist at the party or it just wouldn’t be right! Dan was so charming and personable, I just can’t say enough good things.

Vanessa,
Thank you for this great review! It was a pleasure playing for your mom and what a milestone she has made! I also want to say that it was a treat playing for your group because with yout mom being a professional musician, it gave me the opportunity to play it all including classical, jazz, broadway show tunes, pop, rock, and even some latin jazz. I appreciate you hiring me and it makes me feel great inside knowing that I was able to enhance the experience of your guests with such an important celebration for your family.
Warm Regards,
Dan
