His past high school years are marked by a total of twenty four prizes from different piano competitions from countries like Romania, Italy and Hungary.

He held solo piano and chamber music recitals in festivals such as “The International George Enescu Festival”-Romania, “The Chetham's International Piano Summer School”-United Kingdom and “Crescendo Summer Institute Festival”-Hungary.
At the age of fifteen he made his debut as soloist and since then he played with different philharmonic orchestras from Romania and Moldavia. Last year, he played the Mozart Piano Concerto no.23, L.v.Beethoven Piano Concerto no.5 and Grieg Piano Concerto with conductors such as Olivier Robe-France, Vlad Conta-Romania and Mihail Agafita-Moldavia.
Daniel had the opportunity to participate in masterclasses of pianists Philippe Cassard, Andreas Henkel, Reto Reichenbach, Csiky Boldizsar, Rostislav Yovchev, Pascal Solomon, Alexandra Dariescu, Josu Okinena and many other.
Since he came in Manchester, he has an active schedule.
