Daniel Park
Before settling down in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2012, Daniel Park was in a state of “permanent touring,” traveling all over the Southwest and West Coast performing over 300 shows a year. Over that period, Daniel developed a distinctive sound for his live shows through his use of the electric violin, as well as looping, a technique which is increasingly highlighted by notable artists like Ed Sheeran. The (non-electric) violin was Daniel’s first instrument, as he started lessons when he was five years old. He then transitioned to learning the acoustic guitar when his parents started noticing him strumming his violin with both hands, and it became a major instrument of his in high school. Daniel’s accolades include being picked as one of the top 100 acts in Season 7 of America’s Got Talent, and his "Sidewalk Guitar" EP is the current hold music for the online shoe and clothing company Zappos. He has had residencies at the Lily Bar and Lounge inside the prestigious Bellagio Hotel and Casino, the Mandarin Bar inside the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, and at the Red Rock Casino. Daniel has also been an easy choice for many corporate events because of his versatility, and has performed for company parties including Microsoft, SanDisk, and ProCore. He has even performed internationally for events in Australia, New Zealand, and China. After over 5 years in Las Vegas, Daniel has started performing overseas by first relocating to Singapore performing at the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore for 6 months, and then a residency at the Park Hyatt in Beijing, China for 9 months. He has now returned to the USA at the end of January 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Daniel Park has been a part of Fergusons Downtown Jam Session from the very beginning! He was one of the founders of our original Jam Session event at Fergusons Residential where we invited anyone who wanted to come jam to hop up on our stage and collaborate with other local musicians. It was so beautiful to watch complete strangers essentially form a band for a night and create beautiful music together.
That’s why we had to have Daniel on for a Jam Unplugged! He not only is a talented local musicians who’s played at so many venues around the city, but he is a former resident of Fergusons and long time friend. We hope you enjoy his episode and get to know him better with his podcast!
