No stranger to classical guitar fans around the world, Dani de Morón is one of the up and coming flamenco guitarists in Spain today. He grew up in Moron de la frontera, a Spanish town in Seville province known for its rich Andalucian and Flamenco culture.

As a flamenco soloist and composer, Dani began his concert career when he was very young.

He continued to advance his solo career, winning the Hospitalet Calasparra award in Murcia and the Federation of Flamenco Clubs (Federación de Peñas Flamencas) in Seville. He was also the finalist in the Las Minas de la Unión contest and the Biennial of Flamenco in 2002.

In his varied performances, the acclaimed Spanish flamenco guitarist introduced a combined technique of playing flamenco from the traditional Spanish styles to his personal improvised pieces
