👋 Hello there! I'm Daniel Waples, a fervent handpan player who discovered my musical passion at the age of 11 while marching in a military band ranked as the 2nd best in the UK. From those early days, my journey has taken me across the globe, performing in 87 countries and enchanting audiences with the ethereal sounds of the handpan.🎓 After honing my skills at Leeds College of Music, where I specialised in the manufacture and repair of stringed musical instruments, I embarked on a pioneering path as one of the first musicians to gain viral fame on YouTube. Since then, I've had the privilege of collaborating with hundreds of companies in corporate settings, gracing countless social events with my melodies, and delivering inspiring talks at 7 TEDx events.🤝 I'm passionate about connecting with fellow musicians, creators, and cultural enthusiasts.
