Book Daniel Ondaro
One musician. 1,034 songs. No band to feed, no stage full of gear to work around — just a singer and guitarist with 19 years of professional music experience making rooms feel good, including a decade as a featured cruise-ship performer, from Carnival to Royal Caribbean.
What you get
• A personalized setlist, built with you before the date around your event, your guests and your favorites.
• Live requests on the night — the repertoire is deep enough that the room can steer.
• Everything self-contained: Daniel arrives with his own guitar, amp and loop station, set up and sound-checked before your first guest.
• Music sung in English and Portuguese — including a deep Brazilian songbook (bossa nova and samba) rooted in Brazilian guitar studies that began at home — before the 2008 study-abroad summer in Brazil that the music itself inspired — and in Boulder's Brazilian band scene — with Spanish-language favorites like Bésame Mucho and Guantanamera in the mix.
• A professional who's done this at weddings, grand openings, senior living communities, hotel rooftops and on the world's largest cruise ships — and treats a house party with the same care.
Perfect for: Venues & bars · Hotels & resorts · Restaurants · Weddings · Corporate events · Private parties · Senior living communities
