Biography

I have always loved a good story. As a performing artist, I aim to communicate authentic stories through music and theatre. Originally from Ohio, I graduated with a BA in Piano Performance from Cedarville University and received my Masters degree in Music Direction for Theatre from Arizona State University.

My work as a collaborative pianist, music director, and choreographer for theatrical productions has taken me all over the country. I have worked in developing new works at various workshops such as the Phoenix Theatre New Works Festival. I have served as a music director for Norwegian Cruise Lines with the Norwegian Breakaway’s productions of SIX the Musical and Burn the Floor. My current adventure takes me all over the country with the National Tour of WICKED as the keys 3 player/assistant conductor and music librarian.

Other recent productions include The Scarlet Pimpernel, Footloose, A Gentlemen's Guide to Love & Murder, Kiss Me, Kate!, Musical of Musicals (The Musical!), and A New Brain.

I have served on music staff at Norwegian Cruise Lines, The College Light Opera Company, The Phoenix Theatre Company, Wright State University, Cedarville University, and Dayton Live. I was awarded an AriZoni Award for my music direction of A New Brain at ASU in 2018. Feel free to reach out to me at danile[email protected] or visit me on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube!
